Ummm...lots of wrong here.
Swanson may have been rushed up but that is far from the braves M O. heyward was didn't start to go down for 2 years. Then the league adjusted and he didn't. He still can't hit consistently. I remember Bobby valentine commenting on his swing mechanics and how they would prevent him from being consistent without some adjustments. This woulda been about his 2nd or 3rd year up.
Frenchy was another guy that tore it up for a few years and then refused to adjust. He'd always been a studd that had done it his way and he never could wrap his mind around having to make a change.
Neither of these guys were "rushed" to the majors.
