For whatever reason there are lots of Braves fans hate Heyward
Because they loved him a lot, and he was hyped by their media as a 30+ HR hitting machine...and then their manager hit him leadoff and royally fricked him up.
He made significant changes to his stance and hands this offseason since he isn't hitting leadoff in STL ever, so 11 games is nowhere near enough time to really tell anything. All we know at this point is that he's likely going to win another gold glove, swipe around 20 bases, and is a perfect fit in the clubhouse. Everything else is way too damn early.

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.
