In response to "Heyward is 4 WAR as well yet you have soured on him... -- nm" by David

Heyward's WAR is inflated heavily from his rookie year; 5 years and it's basically 35% of his career mark.

Harper's 12% better offensively (OPS+ 125 vs 113)...

Heyward's young, but he's not showing the leap yet....he's merely a decent starter 3 of his 5 years with most of his value derived from defensive metrics which are...still subjective in a lot of ways.
