Heyward is basically average offensively for a RF
Bourjos is one of the worst offensive CF in baseball, and even then, he's decidedly better than Jay
Holliday is an elite offensive LF, but he's still on the shelf. Grichuk has performed like a middle of the pack OF, but that's not sustainable. He has more XBH than walks and singles, and he strikes out a ton.

Part of it is Mabry, but a lot of it is that Lance Berkman, Pujols, and Allen Craig aren't walking through that door.
If he hadn't had the April he did, heyward would be above that though, and as we've seen, if he Co tines the track he is on thru the past 2 months, he should be.
