Drop Heyward for Bourgeios? WHIR

[StateOfGrace]

In my league I'm 2nd in HR's and near the bottom in steals. I've been waiting all year for Heyward to pick up his play. Bourgeios is now batting third and playing every day. Granted the Stros lineup is a AAAA lineup but Bourgeios has been very impressive. Should I cut ties with Heyward for Bourgeios?

If it improves your team, it's a valid move. Heyward hasn't brought much this year. I've heard analysts says he's swinging down on the ball more, thus increasing his ground ball rates.

Thanks for the feedback. I went ahead and dropped Heyward for Bourgeios. I've also honestly been concerned that Heyward is playing with a bum shoulder and refuses to address it because Chipper told him over a month ago to just shut up and play with it.
