Like his impatience. His arm from the outfield.

What was that about Bruce's defense regressing?

It's okay, I was going for a Parks and Recreation reference.

I don't see anything in his game that suggests he's not average. His tools are decent all across the board but not exceptional in any one thing. That is basically an average outfielder.

Stubbs, though he might have better physical tools, has not manifested that talent into production. At this point, I don't see anything to suggest the lightbulb is going to go on for him.

Even if Stubbs is a slightly better defender, Heisey has been a better hitter. A .756 OPS for a CF is pretty good. That's Heisey's career number to this point.

Interestingly, Heisey's current career WAR (3.6) would be the same as Stubbs' (8.4) if extrapolated to the same number of plate appearances.

No. It's just used wrong, a lot.

No problem. This thread is now tainted by Sandusky though

Check your dictionary. I know people don't like it, but the meaning has been amended.

If this regime believes Stubbs to be a better play than Heisey, I believe them. They have a fairly good track record in these situations.

I think they believe he COULD be a better player and they keep hoping to see it. Dusty's strength and his weakness. Track record spanning a year and a half now but he still hopes Drew will turn it on and gives him chances to prove it because you can't prove it if you ain't playing!.
