A very lengthy, informative article (http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/minors/awards/player-of-the-year/2009/268862.html) from Baseball America on Jason Heyward as he had been named their Minor League Player of the Year. The article touches on the differences between Heyward and Jeff Francoeur, his work ethic, his strike zone management, what being a black superstar could mean, and his placement amongst other second year high school draftees.
Heyward becomes the second Atlanta Brave to win the award since Baseball America begun the award in 1981. The other was Andruw Jones during 1996.
