If you want the kid to be Ty Cobb, Ricky Henderson or Barry Bonds, that's your call. -- nm - David Jul 1, 08:30 14
- well, the only thing keeping him from being great is him running into walls and diving head first into bases. - groiny Jul 1, 08:31 11
  - We'll see. Thus far, he's a 4 WAR player that people treat like an 8. - David Jul 1, 08:38 9
    - he is everything that Heyward was supposed to be. - groiny Jul 1, 08:40 8
      - Heyward is 4 WAR as well yet you have soured on him... -- nm - David Jul 1, 08:42 7
        
        Heyward's WAR is inflated heavily from his rookie year; 5 years and it's basically 35% of his career mark. - Hunta Jul 1, 08:48 2

        His WAR this year, (while top 5) is broken down this way (Off. 1.0 - Def. 2.3 - Other .4) - Hunta Jul 1, 08:57
        
        he underperformed last year, he is underperforming this year. - groiny Jul 1, 08:43 3
        
        We -just- had the discussion yesterday of how he is top 5 in WAR. - David Jul 1, 08:47 2
        
        his attitude does not have any impact whatsoever on his on field play. - groiny Jul 1, 08:51 1
        
        It matters in helping your team win or lose. Teams are not as loose when they play with assholes. - David Jul 1, 08:52
