Warrior999 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I am looking forward to seeing him up with the team. Just need Kotchman to hold the job down for a few more years and then we can trade him for another piece to help our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mookie3127 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 freeman has the potential to be an absolute stud 1B by 2013. i would guess he'd be up full time in 2011and after a couple of years, should have the position all to himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan567 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 yeah how old is he?19. The same as Heyward. I think they were drafted the same year. 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie3127 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Freeman is going to make it really tough not to have him on the team next year.unless he just blows up this year at AA, i'd have no problem not rushing him. he was just at A Rome this past summer. got to see him and heyward a few times and wow....they are special. we have kotchman through what, 2011 or 2012? i wouldn't be opposed to hang on to kotch through 2011 and then hand the job over to freeman if he's ready for it.

He fell due to signability concerns. Both his parents went to Dartmouth, and he told everyone who would listen that he wanted to get a college education.

L.Rover Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Heyward, who celebrated his 18th birthday on Thursday, is an impressive physical specimen who stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 230 pounds. During his senior season at Henry County High School, which is located about 20 minutes from Turner Field, he hit .520 with eight homers and 29 RBIs.

jidady Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 He fell due to signability concerns. Both his parents went to Dartmouth, and he told everyone who would listen that he wanted to get a college education.Yeah, we had a discussion about this right after he was selected by the Braves. Other teams had speculated that he intentionally leaked this because Atlanta is where he really wanted to play. No one was willing to take a chance on him being serious, however, because you don't want to completely waste a draft pick in the upper half of the first round. Bill Shanks said afterward that the Braves had been running draft simulations for weeks. Heyward hadn't fallen to them in any of them.
