I'm not giving up on him yet, but if he shows no improvement between 2013 and 2014 barring injury, then I believe it is right to worry if this is as good as it gets. Though, there are some late bloomers (jose bautista), but they're few and far between.

Its the 2nd week of the season. If you wanna question someone question BJ and Justin.

I think it goes without saying about those 2. It's obvious what happens there. We let Justin walk and we're stuck with BJ a while. frick.

Heyward is a real question mark though. I mean, what if we extend him in a deal similar to Freeman's (that will be what he's asking most likely) and he stays at the level he was for 2013 at the plate? That is not a good spot to be in.

I also realize it's only the 2nd week. However, Heyward needs to improve consistency. Hopefully that comes with age, but it really sucks to endure a .150 BA for 2 months until he decides to remember how to hit to raise his average to .240-.250. We need him to get back to hitting .260+ with 25 bombs like he did when he was younger.
