We’ve been supportive of John Hart’s overhaul, but with the season drawing to a near it’s instructive to take a look at the players obtained in the purge.
For Jason Heyward: Shelby Miller and Tyrell Jenkins. Shelby has rebounded from a disappointing sophomore campaign and is one of the few pitchers the Braves can count on in 2016. Jay Hey has blossomed with the Cards, but due to Frank Wren’s bungling there was no chance of re-signing him. Jenkins has been okay in the minors (3.19 ERA) but has a low strikeout and high walk rate.
