Thomas isn't the only one saying it. It seems that most of he analysts are saying it. They've said that Heyward is really the first big FA that got his contract based off using sabermetrics. It's not just Thomas. A lot of them say it was too much. A lot of them also say it was too much especially if we are taking him out of his best position. The thing I find humorous though is that these people that are saying him in CF is a bad idea are the exact same people that keep preaching that it's only the middle of December so it's not time to panic about teams. But, I understand it is their job, but, MLB radio has been hard to listen to the last week or so. Casey Stern seems to be the loudest about how Heyward isn't worth it.
I don't think Heyward is going to be a 30/100 guy, but, aside from injury I don't see any reason he can't consistently be 20/80.
