Ruiz is a solid 3B prospect that can hit for average and has decent power. Thurman is still too early to tell on.
As a lifelong Braves fan, this is going to be a very long season. But I do like the talent they've replenished in the minors and are retooling to compete in 2 years.

Just goes to show you the value of a solid piece versus a one year rental All Star.

I agree with the Gattis deal...pretty good return. What are your thoughts on the Heyward deal? I read Talking Chop and everyone there HATED the deal, but I thought getting Shelby Miller and a pretty good prospect in Tyrell Jenkins was solid. And I admit I wasn't as big on Heyward as others on there.

Scherzer has 7-year, $210M deal with Nats
