Heyward

[iceshots]

At what point do these injuries start to worry people? I'm sure everyone's kind of thought the same thing about him.

There's no doubt the talent is there, but it seems like he's always got something a little bit wrong with him. Maybe my mind's playing tricks on me though.

Is he fragile? Is he actually injured or hurt???

Valid questions, Hyde.

I don't own Jason Heyward in any one-year leagues, but I'd prefer him to get fully healthy before returning to action. There's nothing worse than watching one of your players perform poorly at the plate only to find out days or weeks later that he's been playing hurt.

Heyward had some nagging injuries last year (ligament issue in thumb and a sore knee), but nothing really serious. Chipper Jones may think otherwise, but Jason Heyward won't help anyone until he's fully healthy. Guys don't need to play hurt in early June, anyway.

I agree with Mike. Lieutenant band aid boy Chipper should not be saying anything about newly appointed captain band aid boy Jason Heyward coming back at 85%.

I am worried, especially if Heyward decides he needs to come back early. Shoulder injuries already sap the power out of you, so if he comes back early I expect him more problems.
