[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1308356, member: 26283"] I predicted before the season started that both Jay and Heyward would have a higher WAR by seasons end than Dexter Fowler. Fowler has played 9 years. Heyward and Jay have each played 7. Heyward has had a better WAR in 5 of his 7 seasons and tied Fowler once. Jay has had a better WAR in 3 of his 7, but has missed half a season with injuries twice. Thus he's had a better WAR than Fowler more often than not when healthy. So far, 1/9th of the way into the season, I'm doing ok with my prediction. Heyward is at 0.7, Jay at 0.1, and Fowler is at -0.3. Fowler won't be as bad as he's been so far for the rest of the season. He's going to bounce back to his career norm of "pretty good starter." He's not going to be the All-Star he was last year. But really, the biggest threat to my prediction might be Albert Almora playing so well that Jay doesn't get enough playing time. He's been fantastic. [/QUOTE]
