6'6" is a standard height fence.

And if he were standing right next to the fence, that might qualify as evidence of his height. But a photo taken at an upward angle where the subject is not even very close to the fence.....not so much. Who cares if he's 6'5 or 6'6 anyway?

In that case, you might want to slip some shoe pads in his spikes just to be safe.

You happy bastards! It must be nice to quibble over an inch of height on the best RF arm I've seen since Mike Shannon. The Cards are gonna miss him, but Steve Piscotty may help us to forget.

I tell you....I expected big things from Jason last year, but he was really tentative in the first few months. Made no great plays out there and was hitting like .240. After the ASB he started putting wood on the bat and seemed to get comfortable in right; made some nice plays.

However, most Card fans will tell you that he was overpaid. Now he's really overpaid! It's hard to figure how a guy his size can have so little power. Your young guys are gonna shame him. Where in the order is he gonna hit? Eigth?

Agree on everything but I still have a soft spot for Shannon. Last of the old timers.

MESA, Ariz. -- He hasn’t even taken an official swing with his new team yet, but Chicago Cubs center fielder Jason Heyward is garnering praise from all corners of the team's clubhouse. As position players reported for their first day of spring training on Tuesday, Heyward was already winning over his new teammates.

“The guy is a specimen,” pitcher Jason Hammel said Tuesday morning

Don't get me wrong: I have a soft spot for the guy too. But he is almost un-listenable to now. I often watch the game with the sound off to get away from McCarver and listen to Mike on the radio, but it's a bitch! 2 guys have already made outs and the count is 3-2 on the 3rd guy before he stops blathering about some bullshit and reports the game.

And even when he's paying attention he rarely knows the name of a player: "There goes a pop fly ball to...uh...the right fielder.....uh.... Heyward.....he's going back....it's gone!!!"

No reason to have Mike Shannon on play-by-play when John Rooney is sitting right next to him. Is Jerry Reinsdorf a minority owner of the Cardinals?

Love the Cardinal hate Bull man.

But what are your reasons for considering them a racist organization?

I expect him to start slow, but looking for him to cover ground...major issue with the RF and LF guys we have.

Question is, does he feel comfortable right away with younger guys? I know its only a few days in mesa, but he looks really comfortable just in the social setting....maybe he looked that way in St Louis too, but not fitting in sure doesnt seem to be a problem....so it shouldnt be an excuse...

Jason Heyward is a younger guy. 26? He feels just fine.

That's cute. The Cubs are giving him $2.25 million as a retirement gift.
