Braves manager Bobby Cox confirmed Thursday that he's considering having Jason Heyward begin the 2010 season in the big leagues.
"He's virtually skipping Triple-A if he makes the team," manager Bobby Cox said Thursday. "That doesn't happen often. But in his case we just feel that he should, if he's going to come to spring training, be given a crack at it." The 20-year-old Heyward went 4-for-11 during his debut at the Triple-A level last season and batted .323/.408/.555 in 362 at-bats overall.
