25 and 27 year olds are able to improve. You may think they won't, but unlikely is at-best an assumption.
Top-tier pitching and SS are predominatly veterans, there is a long learning curve.
I consider it an overpayment because a 27 year old SS that has recieved an MVP vote is now under control for three years.
I'm not saying it's a bad trade for the Braves, but (I suspect) they were aiming for a better pitching prospect than Collins.
