As long as we are talking potential then Stubbs would qualify as a potential superstar also. But yeah Heyward is a really intriguing guy and I don't believe it's just hype in his case, he's the future linchpin in the Atl taking the baton from Chipper. ROY most likely.Originally Posted by OnBaseMachine

Saw a little of Heyward on MLB Network the other night. Impressive. Reminded me of a young Dave Parker in terms of bat speed, gap power and speed.
I've seen that comparison made a lot, and a couple more I've seen are Darryl Strawberry and Willie McCovey. Those are some lofty comparisons, but from what I've seen, he's got the talent to be that type of player.
