Who is the better overall hitter?

Post by Shady »

Walker, Gorman or Saggese. If Saggese, shouldn't he be getting the same chance as Walker and Gorman at the MLB level? Saggese's recent MLB
production, when given the chance, was pretty dang impressive. It kind of seems like a seniority thing going on.

No Saggese isn’t as good. That’s why he is there.

Saggese doesn't have the upside as Walker and Gorman do. But probably a higher floor. That being said higher upside is ALWAYS going to get a much longer runway, and it should. Saggese does look like a solid player though

Comparisons not valid as different positions.
Walker is RF .. we have Noot Scott and him

Saggese is infielder predominantly.
He has Winn Donnie and Nado ahead of him there .

To be fair, you can play one of them. So I think the comparisons are fair.

You can go

LF Donovan
CF Scott
RF Nootbaar

With either Saggese or Gorman at 2B.

Or

LF Noot
CF Scott
RF Walker

2B Donovan

Things really get interesting when Wetherholt enters the picture, probably next year.

Donovan could get more time in LF. Opening up some playing time at 2B for Saggese.

"Things really get interesting when Wetherholt enters the picture, probably next year". I see Wetherholt as a 3B possibilty. Especially, if Gorman doesn't pan out as a MLB hitter.

I don't know who will be the best hitter nor which criteria you wish to use....

But....

I'm certain you're going to beat this dead horse again and again and again and again......

Another reason for your designated name, Richard. Just stick to baseball discussion. And please quit following me around like whimped out puppy.

So was Pujols. But what's your point related to the OP context ? And please don't play stupid. Your subtle harassment is getting old.

I wasn't talking to you. And I answered this OP 2 or 3 months ago. And I'm pretty sure I answered this OP 2 years ago, and last year.

Good, better, best.
Elementary school English.
I don't know who is best of those three, but I'd guess it's Saggese.

No one follows you around...it's just that you continue to post the same stuff over and over and over and over and over....it's why other sites with actual moderators have banned you! But of course, in your world, nothing is ever your fault!
