Lost in all of the silly is the fact that I was always bothered by the fact that he never walked.

Heyward, on the other hand, comes up with 2 outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th and immediately forces the pitcher to throw strikes. When he does, Heyward hits the ball where it's pitched. 58% of his hits this year have been to center and left field. Unlike you know who.

plus, players tend to walk more the longer they are around. - groiny Apr 20, 09:35 4
- Frenchy has walked more this year. The problem is when he (inevitably) slumps, if he'll regress to his old bad habits. - musubi Apr 20, 09:40 1
  - He has Hero Syndrome, which is perfectly understandable for someone who had accomplished as much as him by 22. - David Apr 20, 09:44
- It's frustrating to me that Heyward already has a better plate approach at 20 than Frenchy will ever have in his entire career. - David Apr 20, 09:36 1
  - I am with ya, the tools are there for him to use - groiny Apr 20, 09:37
