Premium position? Some of the best in the game play 1st.

In case you haven't caught on, I was being sarcastic. A few Braves fans on here have said that in the past. Well, they've said all those things I mentioned in that comment.

He is a good player.

Has become an elite hitter.

Every single person thinks Freddie Freeman is a very good player.

I know you were being sarcastic. That is also directed at them.

No one is arguing that JHey is a better hitter than Freeman.

Some just think he is a "good" player. They are in this thread. He is a "great" player. Makes Heyward look like AA player.

Please tell everybody you would rather have Heyward on your team.

Trout is obviously the best player in the game.

Then you have McCutchen, Miggy, Longo, Cano, Braun, Davis, Goldschmidt, Votto, etc. That's the level of player I consider great.

I would put Freeman in the next tier.

No thank you. I'm not going to play into your retarded hypotheticals. We have both players and that's what I would rather have.

I have no problem with someone preferring to have Heyward on their team. If you feel he has untapped talent that would push him well above and beyone Freeman, then that's a solid opinion. Just don't throw out a bunch of letters and try to say he's better right now. Because he's not. I don't care what WAR or UZR or OPS+ says.

If I would rather have both players, and you claim to have already thought that's what I'd choose, why'd you ask your ridiculous hypothetical question in the first place?

Unless he completely changes his swing, he has no chance

what's worse, thinking that heyward has been better overall, freeman was better last year, freeman is playing better so far this year, and heyward is better, or obsessing over someone thinking this?
