I can think of two instances; the Cubs game where he pegged Rizzo at home to change the course of the inning and then a game where he made a sliding catch going towards the wall to save a couple of runs.
Then again, I think can think of 2 games where Bourjos' running from 3b won a game for us as well. And there's no doubt in my mind that our biggest problem last year was the complete lack of run production from the 3 and 4 spots in the order.
Justin Upton's bat at 4 would win as many games for us as Heywards glove in RF would.
Theo has pulled his Red Sox tricks - he's driven the price up on Heyward to a level far beyond what is sane. **** it - let him have him. The Cardinals are not in a position to play this game. They have to be smarter than other clubs, they can't just outspend them.
To this point, the Cubs can outspend the Cards AND they've been smarter. We're going to reap what we've sown over the last 5 years and there's just no avoiding that. Time to get a hell of a lot smarter and hope to get a little bit lucky.
