They have him lasted at 6'5"....but that guy has to be 6'6"!!!! They were standing 15 feet away and while I know its Heyward, still had to go to the Bio to check the height...

Went to workouts this morning...he towers over Rizzo and he is taller than Bryant!!!!

Schwarber there as well......Schwarber working in the OF....RF, FYI....not saying it means anything, as he went to CF as well, just thinking that was the open field.

You got a pretty damn good eye if you can tell the difference between 6'5'' and 6'6'' from 15 feet away.

Cubs will be twisting themselves in knots this year explaining what a good signing he was despite his numbers, just as they did with Lester last year.

I wonder Heyward and Wrigley will work out. I like the high OBP guys because it works in all kinds of weather with this fucking bi polar facility they play in.

bigfan must eat a lot of carrots. I cannot wait for the pitching reports. You know, when they say a guy is hitting 91 on the gun, and from 30 feet away he is able to tell that the guy is throwing 93!!!!

Tough crowd in here...

Lots of times guys are listed as taller than they really are...I swear, Kaner's listed height must be on skates...When you see a guy who is actually the same as listed, they tower over the other guys...like Heyward over Rizzo.

If chas, Elmhurst Steve, or Beardown posted something this absurd they would be raked over the coals.

bigfan made the understandable mistake of trying to compare Heyward to Rizzo who is slow, tiny, and white.

Not really a tough crowd, just some little fat pricks.

If your position is that Lester was a lousy pitcher, I disagree. If you look at his ERA and WHIP his numbers are pretty good. But if your position is they overpaid for him, I agree. I think they overpaid for Heyward too. but if they win a title with the help of those two, I will certainly be happy about it. Zimmerman and Span could have been both signed for less than they paid Heyward and I would have preferred those moves. I hope I am wrong and Theo made the better decision in the end. We shall see.
