Shelby Miller to the DBacks

Solid trade though. Braves got Dansby Swanson and Ender Inciarte. Swanson is probably several years away from meaningful MLB action, but he was awesome at Vandy.

Also got Aaron Blair. Blair is an mlb ready starter and top 100 prospect I believe. Braves just abused the dbacks

Teams have gotten so good at talent evaluation at the top of the draft it would be shocking for Swanson to be anything short of great. Look at the last 10 overall #1s. Aiken and Appel - jury still out and yes there are question marks for each. Before that, Carlos Correa, Gerrit Cole, Bryce Harper, Steven Strasburg, Tim Beckham, David Price, Luke Hochaver and Justin Upton. There's some serious talent in that group, with Hochaver (injuries and just bad performance) and Beckham (injuries and drugs) being the outliers.

Swansby has a chance to taste the bigs this season a la conforto and shwarber

Wouldn't rush it... Both the rookies you mentioned were on contenders.

Ready to see if Albies or Swanson go to 2b. We have our infield now for sure though...

1b -- FF
2b -- Swanson/Albies
SS -- Swanson/Albies
3b -- Riley/maitan (assuming he signs like expected)

Finally on the better end of the deal.
