Stubbs has 301 abs. Heisey has 128.
Heiseys numbers would be 52Runs 83 Hits 19HRs 66RBI
Based on 301 at-bats. Not too bad.

I've been a longtime honk for Heisey, but until last night's breakout game, he's been pretty shaky as a starter. I think he sees almost exclusively fastballs as a pinch-hitter, but a lot more breaking stuff as a starter. Until yesterday, he hadn't adjusted well to anything with a hump in it.
Rounding third and heading for home...
The more at bats a player gets, the more MLB pitchers figure out how to get him out. The same thing happens with rookie pitchers who often do well their first time around the league, then start to get hit hard as hitters see them and learn their patterns.
True, but I'd like him to get a month-load of starts in LF. Defense will certainly be better then Gomes, bat can't be worse than the last year of Johnny.....though I still want Gomes on my side when a brawl happens.
If anyone listened to the baseball today podcast on espn, Olney essentially said there is no reason why Heisey shouldn't be starting everyday of our three LF options. He also thinks Cozart is a definite upgrade over Janish with comparable glove and while not a great hitter, still significantly better than Janish.
Take out his one 3 hr game or wait and week and then show me the numbers.
