For me, it depends on the prospects and how much I trust my scouts.

Three of the top ten players on the Braves' draft board that year were Heyward, Stanton and Freeman. If we hadn't ceded a draft pick, we would have gotten all three. Name the player you would trade for two of those three.

(I know, I know. It's Mike Trout.)

I think you have to call Heyward a bust at this point, no? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 11:00 2
- Offensively, I think that's fair. In terms of overall skill, he's an impact player. - David Jun 30, 11:01 1
  - Actually, his OPS+ is 113 so bust overstates the matter. Overrated would be fair. - David Jun 30, 11:04
