Heyward would've dove for that easily or probably just caught it in stride.

EOF is a FA and depending on Price (aka he better sign early in the offseason) Venters may be a non-tender candidate. If he'd come back for what he's making this year then I'd keep him but if he wants a healthy raise he can fish for that in FA.
