I laugh at people that think the MLB is still in 2008 PED smash ball form. Meanwhile the Royals were dead last in homeruns hit last year and made the World Series with players like Heyward in their outfield, the Giants were 17th in homeruns, and STL 29th,thats 3 of your 4 Championship Series teams with below league average power and 2 being at the very bottom.
The game has significantly changed the last couple of years, some people struggle to adapt expectations around that.
I have no issue with Jason Heyward I just simply do not believe he is worth $20MM/season. Braves fans wanted him to be worth $20MM/season hence why most are hoping he continues to struggle so they are proved "right".

He is a 7 or 8 hitter batting in the 2-spot. Always has been.

I've always pulled for Heyward, but I do not get the hype. The Braves made out like bandits with that deal, plus Markakis is an offensive upgrade while making half of what Heyward is asking for on the market. J Hey is an average hitter that can't hit middle in fastballs, it's pretty simple to see that.

That's shitty on their part to actually hope someone struggles for petty reasons. I cannot stand Shelby Miller, most frustrating pitcher I have ever watched pitch, still wish him nothing but the best except against the Cards.

I agree with this.
On the one hand he is only 25.
On the other hand .265, 15-18 HRs, good D, and a bunch of strikeouts is what you will get. I don't see him being better than that.
He has decent speed, but at 6'5" 245 lbs. that is going to diminish rapidly.
I'm only a casual fan and was disappointed in the trade, but only because he came in with so much hype that you think "maybe this year." I'm sure the Braves didn't really want to get rid of him, but the business side was the reason.
