Are you saying that the Cubs are in the WS because of Heyward's defense?
Nope. Read the thread. I've said:
1. I didn't like the signing. Doubt I ever will.
2. The Cubs might have won in spite of the contract. Or maybe not.
3. The Cubs print money so it's not really problematic regardless of his production or lack thereof.
4. If the Cubs start saying "Because of our payroll situation, we can't sign FA", it's time to re-evaluate what the signing did to them.
5. I doubt anyone in the organization is saying "Damn, that Heyward signing is killing us" today.
And a few other things.
I just think it's a very stupid time to resurrect an argument over the Heyward signing when the Cubs are 1 of 2 teams capable of calling themselves "World Series winners." It's doubly stupid to say "How'd that signing work out for you!?!??"
