The more they...

1. Prove their 1st half wasn't a fluke
2. Play at the level of teammates Chipper Jones/Brian McCann or Chris Carpenter/Adam Wainwright
3. Wonder why they were dubbed as overrated all over this site

Jason Heyward may really have been injured for over a month, but he's sporting a .390 OBP. THREE-NINETY?! Fine, it's really just .389 but I'm making a point here. Jaime Garcia disappeared from the conversation even though, unlike Heyward, he never left the field.

QUESTION: Are they 1-2 as the NL's top rookies? Do I hear any apologies from those who wrote those two off? Do you know Buster Posey now only leads Heyward .873-.865 in OPS? Funny how using 10 fingers instead of 9 spikes the stat-sheet.
