This question is based on John Sickels latest article:

Heyward for me.

Heyward. Stanton's contact skills will catch up to him at some point as he moves up.

Stanton, because I own more cards of him than Heyward.

In all seriousness, as of now it is Heyward because he really doesn't show any weakness. The power was the question in the offseason but his ISO power has increased substantially this season. Stanton wasn't as refined coming out of high school being a 3 sport star, so I wouldn't expect him to be flawless. Stanton still has a question mark where as Heyward doesn't, but that is of right now. Things can definately change.

Both are fantastic, it's so close. I'm gonna go ahead and stick with Stanton. I see him eventually catching up to Heyward skills-wise, for the most part, although he'll probably always K more. Stanton's huge power, and the fact that he's already tapped into it, is what makes me stick with him by a small margin.

Heyward, but I'm not biased or anything.........

I think a more difficult question would be who is the number 1 prospect in baseball right now? Or who are the top 3 prospects in baseball? For me as of now: 1) Montero, 2) Heyward, 3) Stanton or Bumgarner without factoring in 09 draft picks.

Heyward because he has less falws in his game than Stanton. I do like Stanton as well, but Heyward has more tools in my book.

 

[kruzie3]

Heyward has more to offer IMO

 

[brouthercard]

Heyward is as much a sure thing as anyone in the minors right now.

I'd take Freeman over Heyward all day, everyday and even on Sunday.

Heyward for less weaknesses, however if both of them reach their ceilings. Both of these players will be inducted into the HOF in 25 to 30 years.

I'll take the guy who has the OPS of 1.240 since getting promoted. 60 AB's might be a small sample, but damn that is impressive.
