Remember one thing about those of us on the other side of the keyboard. We are suckers for a good story.

That doesn’t mean “trying to sell newspapers” or “make a name” for myself or any of the complaints that make the rounds about the decisions that go into what to put in a piece and what to leave out. It would be great to instinctively know about the staying power of a story. But the best we can do is to make an honest evaluation whenever we sit down at a keyboard.

Still, caveat emptor is a wise policy in regards to the glowing reviews of the Braves and their unusually polished prospect, the powerful Jason Heyward.
