Has our offense taken a siesta?

It's hard to say what's been most impressive. The seamless jump from AA? The ability to hit for average? The ability to hit for power? The 18 walks in 111 trips to the plate? The flair for the dramatic? When you're trying to isolate the most impressive aspect of Jason Heyward's game, there's a lot to choose from, and it's only been a month and a half.

Wren exlained that Schafer move is strictly a result of roster constraints. No other healthy OF on 40-man roster to bring up. Schafer will serve as the fifth OF , for defense, limited ABs, and Gregor Blanco will move up to the fourth-OF job that Cabrera once filled.
