I dont know. Has Adam Eaton ever hit 27 HR's in a season? Comparing a career average to a single season best = the greatest way to compare ability!

Eaton in 2015: 14 HR, 18 SB, .287/.361/.431, .144 ISO, 118 wRC Who is that? It's Jason Heyward's career average. In fact, let's look at Heyward's 2015: 13 HR, 23 SB, .293/.359/.439, .146 ISO, 121 wRC If you think Jason Heyward can carry an offense, then you think Adam Eaton can carry an offense.

Anybody here ever been to Wrigley? Are bleacher seats worth $150 a ticket? Will the secondary market level out? Headed out August 12-14th
Help a brotha out. |

Would you have said of last year's Adam Eaton that he can carry an offense? Because his performance last year is what Heyward has averaged over his entire career.
Chase Headley also once had a 31 HR season. He's never hit more than 13 in any other year, but we'll keep banking on that that 31 again.

"Biased fans are bad.....HEY, OUR NEW $27 MILLION RFER CAN CARRY AN OFFENSE!!!"
If Jason Heyward is carrying your offense, you have a really really bad offense. And as evidence I present to you the 2015 Cardinals where he was our second best offensive player (and third best after Piscotty came up). And for the record, please feel free to search for references I made to Heyward DURING the 2015 season and well before he "took a huge dump on the makeup of the team". And like I said, in so doing he outed himself as exactly who I said he was last season; a guy who wants to be a role player. Brucey - feel free to use the archives. Search Heyward under my name and you'll find no shortage of opinions by me regarding the flaws in his swing, the relative overstatement of his defense (he's truly spectacular going back on the ball and as a thrower; he's about average coming in on the ball and merely good laterally) and the mentality that will keep him from being a true superstar. I can guarantee you it will be more useful than "he's the defender Soler would like to be if Soler wasn't a terrible defender" or whatever such bit of idiot horseshit JD just tried to sling your way.

So are you trying to say that Soler doesn't aspire to be a better defender or that he isn't terrible defensively?

I'm saying that what you told him is as worthless as me giving you "Ted Williams is the hitter he wishes he were" as Pete Kozma's scouting report.

Well I'm not making an attempt to break down Heywards game. There are plenty of other sites out there that have broken down his game with route patterns, hitting zones, etc... that I think would be a better interpretation of his game for a Cubs fan other than PGM saying he's god awful at everything baseball or Hamas trying to compare his potential to ****ing Adam Eaton. I never lumped you into that conversation, but w/e.

Oh well that sucks.. I normally pay $100 for right behind homeplate. Try ticket master or stubhub. $150 for bleachers is too much. Wrigley Field is terrible anyway. I normally go to Cincy to watch the Cubs now.
The atmosphere at Wrigley is unbeatable tho |

He's not the worst player, but as Cardinal fans we expect better. They offered him a fair contract and he ran to the perennial losers. If he fails he fails. Enjoy that soft piece of trash.

They are about $120 on Stubhub now. I think i paid about $200 for two Cubs/Cardinals tickets at Busch in 2009 that were second level seats. I don't really know anything about Wrigley and my fat, drunk, bleacher bum friends I'm meeting already have their tickets.
