I totally forgot we got rid of BJ Upton in the Kimbrel trade. We got Newcomb back in the Simmons trade and this guy has control issues. The Heyward trade definitely got us a great return. I'll agree there. I just despise the Cardinals so that pissed me off even more that we traded Heyward there. He was also my favorite player. His defense is elite but he can't hit now. I definitely thought he'd be a much better hitter.

Yeah, Newcomb has potential and I think he'll stick around awhile, but he has to get to a Cy Young candidate level for that trade not to be lopsided as hell

But Heyward was the chosen one :mjcry:

Hometown kid :mjcry:

Was supposed to be Black excellence :mjcry:

I still root for his sorry ass :mjcry:

Having to watch Nick Markakis in 2017. :mjcry:

Back to the pitching prospects. What's your opinion of them? Who do you see developing into an ace?

I haven't seen all of them myself but I think we have 7 prospects who legit could be aces. I'd rank them

Gohara
Soroka
Allard
Wright
Touissant
Wentz
Anderson

All these guys have rediculous stuff and good makeup. Not a "thrower" among the bunch. Even if they don't pan out as starters, guys like Touissant and Wentz could be lethal out of the bullpen. We have some more guys down there who could be solid 4/5 starters should any of these guys completely flame out. I still have hope for Newcomb, Fried, and even Folty to get it together too.
