No we're not. What's lost in translation is,as you've already stated, you're hung up on counting numbers and using it as a basis to judge what Heyward is worth.
And nobody said he was better or is making him sound better than Trout. That's your own interpretation made by God knows what.
He's an excellent player. He does everything, EVERYTHING better, in many cases far better than a league average player, and he'll be paid handsomely. There isn't any one player except maybe Trout and Stanton, who are worth the gigantic contractual obligations. Heyward probably is not really a $200 million player, and honestly, he's likely not going to get that much. But he's for sure with lot of money regardless of you think he's worth it or comprehend why he's as valuable as he is.
