while the deal isn't as laughably funny as the multi yr 23mil heyward signed, 72 for 4yr quite a bit nonetheless.
he's on the wrong side of 30....he wasn't as good as trot nixon or jd drew,...isn't as good as choo or even an elder ethier for that matter those are just two off the top of my head. prolly would rather have nick markakis over him as well.
when i look at his numbers, he looks like he has more of a chance of ending up like mark kotsay/ d. erstad than heyward does.
his age might zap him of speed and hrs, as soon as this year...dude reminds me of a claudell washington type and can easily follow in the footsteps of the alex rios career path..2 more acceptable years then a complete shit...
