Agree with all of this, Heyward is absolutely beasting in the minors. But so did another Braves prospect named Andruw Jones. He had some really nice years, but is a shell of his former self. Maybe he was rushed, or maybe he just couldn't sustain, but the point is that you never know until they get to the show.
There is talk that Heyward might be brought up when the rosters are expanded in Sept. I'm curious to see how he'll do. I have to imagine he is in the mix for a starting gig next season with the Braves.
Maybe he was a steroid injected freak that blew up like Star Jones after MLB started cracking down?
