eah cuz the Braves sucked so bad with JHey leading off last year.

Oh wait...


Yeah, cuz the Braves also had great post-season success and surely you shouldn't want to improve yourself.

Statistically, with a good, not great leadoff in front of Heyward and Freeman batting 3rd to protect him, Heyward's value would skyrocket.

BJ has made some nice adjustments in the last three games.

He has 15 plate appearances, reached base safely six times, smacked a homer and stolen two bases. Additionally, he only has one strikeout.

Heyward came back from that horrific pitch to the jaw with barely a week to play. Tough task to try to get back to the norm and then face the Dodger's pitchers a week later.

Braves were the hottest team in baseball when Heyward was moved to the leadoff spot until his injury.
