[QUOTE="dsboyce, post: 1171521, member: 5182"] I liked Heyward and hoped he'd be back, but I'm glad the Cardinals didn't pony up this kind of money for him. In my opinion, the Cubs overpaid significantly for him. Heyward only had the 5th best OPS among NL right fielders last year. He had a lower OPS than Grichuk, Piscotty and Holliday. Among qualifiers, he only had the 18th highest OPS among MLB outfielders. I know he's pretty darn good defensively, but he isn't THAT good. I don't care what all the WAR statistics say. Cespedes and Gordon both had a higher OPS than Heyward. I'll gladly take one of them for less years and a lower price. Even better, give me Davis at first base and move Piscotty to RF. [/QUOTE]
