Shelby's rearview mirror value to this organization has gone up tenfold; it's pretty funny to see, really.
Shelby was a stalled prospect with #3 starter stuff. He still only has #3 starter stuff but you're welcome to trust him if you'd like. I hate losing the team control, but Wacha, Lynn and Martinez are all better bets than him long-term and Garcia's a better pitcher than him when healthy. He's a two-pitch pitcher who relies on fastball command...and has erratic fastball command. The guy has a .215 BABIP against despite a LD rate that pretty much average - that's impossibly low and not at all sustainable. His strand rate is 12% higher than league average which is also largely a luck metric. His HR/FB rate is about 2/3 of league average as well and virtually anyone will concede that pitchers have essentially zero control over that one as well. In his defense, his groundball rate has increased substantially and that's a very good thing, but that still only takes him from the 4th starter he was for most of his duration in STL to a 3rd starter now in ATL. There's a reason the guy's FIP stands at 3.55 and xFIP at 4.08. To act like we gave up some organizational darling and surefire future #1 is just ridiculous. Shelby Miller was a fine pitcher and the kind of guy you'd like to have in your organization. He's also the sort of player you trade every single time when you have a pool of starters 8 deep and one legitimate possible corner OF option - Grichuck - who hadn't proven he could hit quality RH pitching and could not possibly have been just handed the starting RF job after we had the worst RF situation in the majors the year before.

He has no value right now but Mo may need to take the Jay option off the table.
Matheny is too close to his players. He would have kept Craig in there batting 4th all season thinking he will come around at any time.
