1I'm a Braves fan and I like Tyler O'Neil a lot. He'd be starting in left field if this trade were to happen, or in center right now, with Michael Harris III on the Injured List. I'm not really sure that I'd like to see both Eddie Rosario and Marcell Ozuna both on the bench, but only because that's a lot of money on their contracts. So that's a knock against trading for O'Neil, for me. I'm still hoping that Ian Anderson's able to "find himself" while pitching for Gwinnett. I wonder if how much of his struggles came from the mental side of competing. Maybe that's something that''l get sorted out in AAA. I'm also curious about his low spin rates and the more pronounced splits after having a batter twice before. Ultimately, he has some stuff to work on and it looks like the Braves can keep him around for a while longer. Shuster's twice now had a rough 1st inning as a rookie but that's just part of the process. I like him. I'm not that into a finesse-style pitcher but I'd take him over Ian Anderson right now. Why do you think the Cardinals would take these two and the very young Owen Murphy? There are a few recently-posted trades involving Tyler O'Neil and there were quite a few more during the offseason. Is it pitching depth that's a priority in St. Louis?
