[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1381910, member: 26283"] If he hits anywhere close to that, he will be. I think Heyward's struggles this spring would be a bigger story if Almora weren't also struggling and Zobrist weren't hurt. Heyward might be the most expensive 4th outfielder in baseball by mid season if either Almora or Zobrist can swing a consistent bat. Heyward... proven big league outfielders aren't supposed to go into an offensive free fall at age 26 absent a very apparent injury. There just really isn't any precedence for this. Not at his age and proven track record. Seems like a great guy, good teammate, does everything on and off the field at an elite level except hit. But somehow he forgot how to put the bat on the ball shortly after signing his contract with the Cubs. [/QUOTE]
