Watch Heyward closely this spring, (everyone else will be) and include him in your draft plans if it looks like he'll break camp with the Braves. He's still very young, so expect some inconsistency -- but many signs point to a breakout season for Heyward in 2010. .275-80-16-70-10 in 455 AB.

Positives / Upside	Heyward is arguably the top hitting prospect in baseball, and he showed why in 2009. After starting the year in High-A ball, Heyward thrashed his way all the way to Triple-A, posting a combined stat line of .323-69-17-73-10 in 362 AB -- with an OBP of .408. He projects to be the Braves' everyday right fielder, and his skill set and stature draw comparisons to a left-handed Dave Winfield. we're down with that. .290-85-18-80-12 in 475 AB.
Negatives / Downside	Let's see, a can't miss prospect ready to dominate baseball? Does the name Alex Gordon mean anything to you? Before we start carving his Cooperstown plaque, let's remember that Heyward has exactly 13 Triple-A plate appearances to his credit. We like the skills, but until we see Heyward pound the pill against the big boys we're not going to over-spend to get him. .250-20-6-25-4 in 200 AB.
Recommendation	Go the extra dollar
