Dipshit Doug Gottlieb just announced Heyward is a perfect 6th or 7th hitter.

BUMP- DOESN'T LOOK SO SILLY NOW DOES IT?

Nailed it.

Yes. Heyward will be fine. Coglan has sucked since his rookie season and isn't close to the same player defensively.

GO BEARS!!!

Heyward will be fine? Thanks for the belly laugh.

I know Heyward is the better player BUT my point was is he 100-mil better than Cogs and worth signing. Answer was and certainly is now= NO.


Bring Back Matt Murton!

Ricketts needs to start looking at some of Theo's free agent signings. Going back to the Red Sox,he has made some really bad deals.

Theo's strength is early rounds in the draft and reclamation project trades. Its a good strength to have.

As with everything Cubbie, fans and the media take a good and distort it to the point that it becomes gaudy and grotesque....like the newly monied immigrant family putting cement cast lions in front of their mansion

You mean the Theo walking on water magazine cover was too much?

Another tool on ESPN 1000 making excuses for Heyward. "Well he saves a lot of runs on defense."

Well, if he drove in more runs (i.e. try hitting a homer) and got on base more often, the Cubs wouldn't need him to save as many runs on defense. Don't hedge, just admit it- it has been a poor signing in every way up until this point. Keep in mind, if they had played him in center as originally intended, he would look a lot like Eaton did with the Sox in center. Eaton has "improved" defensively by moving to right.

I'm not defending Jason Heyward compared to his contract...but I will defend Jason Heyward as a player.

You can almost add defensive runs saved with a player's RBI and get a better idea of their affect on the game. 95% of players have such small defensive runs saved (or given up via errors) that it isn't worth looking at.

But with guys like Andrelton, Russell, Heyward, Eaton, Arenado... the statistic can actually be significant and does increase their value to some degree.

It certainly doesn't make Heyward a $25M player, but he isn't 'just' a .627 OPS player either. This year is certainly lost for him...but I've not given up on his ability to contribute. He is a solid baseball player. He just needs to regroup...probably in the offseason. Get those hands figured out.

Going on WAR alone, Jason Heyward is having a better season than Mark Trumbo. Get the fuck out of here.

You are an Cub excuse making machine. All is well in your world. No one is held accountable. And by the way if two guys want to slurp each others poles so be it. Not my cup of tea but whatever.

Forget man on man, what about Manny back to back with Ortiz--that's what Theo needs!

Good God this guy sucks.
Should probably bat 8th.
If at all.

I've never seen a dude that big hit so fucking many weak rollers to 2nd and 3rd.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Worst signing in the history of the franchise

He's the black David Eckstein.

Heyward's a complete waste. If he didn't have that contract, he'd have been benched a while ago. So his contract does matter. Defensive replacement value only. He makes crap contact.
