Um, seriously?
Heyward is considered by almost everyone to be a vastly superior talent to Brown. And he has more major league AB's, so he has a better chance of breaking out next year. Moreover, Heyward also has exceptional plate discipline (~1 BB:K in his final year in the minors), whereas Brown's is merely solid. As a rookie who just turned 21 (today!), Heyward is walking in 13.8% of plate appearances. Overall, I project him for a .280-30 HR-90 RBI-90 R-15 SB campaign next year, and would happily draft him from the 5th round on.
