As much as I can't stand the gnats and Harper, I don't think there's a gm out there who would pick Heyward over Harper at the moment.

I like Johnson but there was no need for an extension. He's an average player at best. He wasn't a free agent for a couple more years.

Remember reading an article on ESPN earlier this season saying Harper was one of the better young 5 tool guys. More toolsy than Harper since he didn't have a good arm.

Should have been wearing a catchers mask.

Wonder if knowing there are two starters ready to come up had any negative effects on wood and harrang?

If we had just average pitching over the last month we'd be a few games under .500

Guess that great pitching was great while it lasted.

Isn't there one division opponent every year that we just can't beat? Guess it's the Marlins this year.

I was expecting bj to dive for that. I miss Andruw

I feel bad, I only recogniuze 4 of them and one is Billy. Actually five.

I was lookin for the sarcasm or hide behind couch emoticon but didn't see either one. Agree 100% with you.

Did you just compare Jason to Harper and trout? :Gasp:

So does that mean that an average fielding great hitter with a war of 6 is going to get a contract equal to an average hitting great defender who also has a war of 6?

It's not like we're waiting for Jason to reach the next level offensively based on hope, he has been to that level, in his rookie season. He's shown that he can do it, but unlike most hitters, he hadn't been able to stay at or surpass that level. It's like he isn't able to make the necessary...

I think in a few years we will be glad the Braves chose to invest in Freeman over Heyward much like they did with McCann and Franceour. I hope he gets better but don't believe he will turn into the hitter that deserves the contract it will take to keep him with the Braves. I admit, I don't...

I can't verify these numbers, got it from the comments section on ESPN. But if they are accurate, it's worse than I thought. Jeff Williams - Explain to me again how Heyward will "come around" His career numbers are below average across the board. If you don't believe that, here are his 162...

Missed this! Great idea! Also willing to accept donations towards a new 70" flat screen to watch the other games:dance:

:icwudt:

Okay, that makes sense.

Don't want to start a war, but I can't put much faith in a stat that says Heyward is the 6th best player in the NL so far this season, defense or not.
