I really, really don't understand the braves' moves. I guess it had something to do with money?
Heyward was 17th in baseball in WAR in a season where he was bad at the plate. He has so much upside at the plate, he's still young... and yet his downside is last season. A year where he was 17th in WAR. Cards got him CHEAP.

Two things for you to be mad about. Bama owns those kittens and now Freeman boots Heyward out of Atlanta. This is a great day.

Who is going to replace Heyward in RF that you think is going to be so awesome?

How do you feel about BMac's 2.89 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, & 82K in 90 innings in a Yankee uni?

Don't engage him. I honestly thought he was a stupid troll but he's dead serious.
Dumbest ATL poster there is. And that's saying something.

Y'all all make me want to be a Braves poster, not a braves fan, a Braves poster. It looks fun

I love how he's getting written off. The dude has the stuff and is a tweak here or there from being really good. If I'm the Braves I'm happy to have him. People were saying the same thing about Max Scherzer & jeff samardjza after a few years. Posted on 11/17/14 at 3:23 pm to Lester Earl
And he started putting things together at the end of last year. As a Cards fan i understand the trade, but i certainly would have like to hold onto Miller. This thread could be the exact opposite though and Braves fans would bitch. It really doesnt matter.

Who is "writing him off"? Being a solid middle of rotation guy is nothing to sneeze at and with Jenkins included it could be a good trade down the road for the Braves, I dont know.
Saying he isnt going to be an ace type isn't writing him off. He has knocks, cant learn to throw breaking/curve consistently. Velocity varies to much. Hard to coach. Can that stuff improve? Sure. Will it? Dont know and neither do you. I trust the Cardinals talent evaluation at this point in time.

Saying it's fairly certain thst he'll never be a 1-2 is writing him off from ever been a 1-2. Unless I'm reading that wrong.
A 25 year old with a 95mph fastball is hardly a finished product.

I said it on like page three but I still don't understand why the Braves fans are melting so hard over this. Miller is at worst a solid mid rotation guy (with control until 2019) and Jenkins has a lot of potential. Much better than the comp pick they would have gotten when Heyward walked

I think I'm the only Braves fan okay with this deal...I fully expected and prepared myself for the rebuild. Wren REALLY fricked us over, especially in the minors. This is Chapter 7 liquidation so that we can be back in a few years, rather than hold these guys and end up jumping off a bridge in 2 years due to depression.
I don't know why anyone is shitting on Miller. He is so young, he has all the abilities to still become a number 1 starter with the right coaching. I LOVE Jenkins...he got injured last year but everything I've read is he has been a AFL monster and has a really bright future.

Just wait until Justin Upton is dealt.

Doesn't dealing Heyward give Braves flexibility to resign Upton? They weren't going to resign both.

I wish I could feel sad about a power hitting right fielder hitting 250 with 10 Hrs getting traded.
Posted on 11/17/14 at 3:36 pm to beaver
I guess as an Astros fan I have a different perspective, but this is the way you want to go. This is not a bad deal. And I agree with Lester that Miller could become much more than he is now. And if he doesn't there's only a handful of guys in the majors right who have put up numbers like his in their first two years worth of starts
