The Braves are finally looking like contenders for a World Series for the first time since the 90s. They have the next superstar in rookie Jason Heyward. This 20 year old from Ridgewood, NJ is 6'4" 220lbs. He hits for contact and power, has a canon designed to gun down idiots who try to stretch for an extra base, and is lightening quick. He's displayed so much talent and maturity for his age that he will be inserting directly into the starting lineup without spending any time in the minors. Can you say Ken Griffey Jr? You add him with the regular crew plus some other new faces, a rock solid pitching rotation with both young studs and savvy vets, and the motivation to win a championship for Bobby Cox in what is most likely to be his last season, and you've got a team with as good a chance as any to go the distance.
