Good to see. He's really been hitting the cover off the ball lately. Well deserved, IMO, and opens up a space at Dayton for Cozart to play SS everyday.

Post All-Star break, in 12 games Heisey is 20-45 for a .444 BA. 8R, 4 2B, 2HR, 10RBI, 5BB, 6K, 2SB, .510 OBP, .667 SLG, 1.176 OPS.
Nice to see him playing well.

Heisey was on fire to start the year, then hit a pretty bad lull. I agree, it's nice to see him rebounding. He has a Freel-esque feel to his game, IMHO.
Now that this thread has been totally de-railed, I'll continue...
I love watching Heisey play. He's max effort every game it seems like. He might not be gifted with the best all around tools, but he shows no deficiencies in any of the tools, either. He's one of those bust your butt types. If he continues to succeed and advance I think Reds fans will love him.
So, congratulations on your promotion, Mr. Valaika!

Valaika hasn't been that impressive since about mid-May. Turner argueably has been a better player and deserved the promotion more. More walks.
I wonder if they will have Cozart or Heisey hitting in the 2 hole and move Turner to the 3 hole. Dayton has been having a tough time scoring lately.
I noticed they did not move anyone in Sarasota to make room for Valaika. They are going to have to make some moves when guy's like Dorn and Piepkorn come off the DL.
Heisey hit in the 2 hole and Turner hit in the 3 hole in one of the games I atteneded this year when Francisco was out of the lineup.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Heisey 2nd and Turner 3rd with Valaika gone.
I like Turner's game as well. Always seems to have good at-bats and he battles up there. He doesn't give anything away at the plate, and really seems to dislike it when he doesn't perform. Not that he gets all down on himself or anything, but you can tell he's competitive and pushes himself to perform.

Turner should be promoted too -- he was drafted as a college senior (like Dorn), so, beyond the fact his performance warrants a move up, age-wise he's behind where he should be. Sarasota 2nd baseman Michael DeJesus is not a prospect -- though he is mighty scrappy and all - so move him out and let Turner continue his development.
Heisey certainly looks to be a better offensive prospect than Stubbs.
Is his D comparable?
