Crimsonian hates Heyward because he still thinks batting average, home runs, and RBI are the best way to measure a player's value.
What you said about tons of hype is probably a big reason why a lot of Braves fans didn't like Heyward. He's certainly no Mike Trout, but he's still a really valuable defensive player and even when his power was down last year, he was an above average offensive player by wOBA. I'm sure crimsonian will tell me that wOBA is a garbage stat but he also still thinks the earth is flat.

He sure does seem salty that's for sure.
I laugh at people that think the MLB is still in 2008 PED smash ball form. Meanwhile the Royals were dead last in homeruns hit last year and made the World Series with players like Heyward in their outfield, the Giants were 17th in homeruns, and STL 29th,thats 3 of your 4 Championship Series teams with below league average power and 2 being at the very bottom.
The game has significantly changed the last couple of years, some people struggle to adapt expectations around that.
