Jason Heyward Game Used/Auto Bat - My 1st!

as bill parcells would say lets not put him in the hof yet. alot of top prospects especially outfielders show flashes but never become stars. look at rocco baldelli, delmon young, lastings, austin kearns, alex escobar, brian anderson, felix pie, corey patterson, wily mo pena, jeremy hermedia. or at other positions alex gordon and andy marte. all were at one point labeled as top prospects and future stars who never quite lived up to anywhere near that billing.

I'm pretty sure most scouts have projected Heyward MUCH higher than those guys you named. Heyward is a special player, not just an outfielder with hype. Barring injury, he will be a very productive player. I agree that we shouldn't jump the gun and expect that he will be a 500HR slugger who makes it to Cooperstown, but I don't think anyone in baseball expects this guy to flop.

And for the record, Heyward has more plate discipline than any of those players you mentioned.
