I'll believe in heyward when he stays healthy and does it. On the surface you'd think Simmons has a good chance to improve, but his infield flyball rate is awful, unless he improves that, it's going to hold back his production.
We could talk about reasons everyone will not hit well or why everyone will. All I'm saying is that Freeman and Chris Johnson may have done better than expected and could come back down some (Johnson almost certainly will), but we have several other guys who did not in any way max out what they can do.

Our lineup as a whole did not overachieve, that's my point. I don't expect our offensive production to go down at all.
