Jason Heyward – Junkyard Dog

I see similarities between Jason Heyward and players like Tyler Anderson, Andrew Heaney, Thor, JDM, and others. Anderson and Heaney came to the Dodgers hoping that the Dodgers could “fix” them. JDM didn’t come to the Dodgers to get “fixed…” maybe to get better, but in the past, he did work with Robert Van Socyoc, who is now the Dodgers’ hitting coach and credits RVS with making his career!. The key here with all of these players is that they wanted to come to the Dodgers. JDM wants to come and get re-united with RVS, and even though it is late in Jason Heywards’ career, he wanted to move to the Dodgers at Freddie Freeman’s behest and the opportunity to work with RVS, Freddie, and JDM.
