There is no comparison whatsoever, JJW is a vastly superior hitter to the Donger. :roll:
Check Wong's stats.
No need to since there's no comparison whatsoever, JJW is the vastly superior hitter.
He hasn't proven it yet. What's wrong with checking stats?
C'mon sir

He's had an outstanding start to his rookie season, 2.3 bWAR in his first 45 GP is outstanding!

So is his .356 OB%........8 HR's..........5 SB's............33 Runs Scored...........+7 DRS (#2 in MLB)!

Donger was a .249 .292 .388 .680 hitter his first full season, re: MEDIOCRE.

The only comp between the two is fielding, JJW is the vastly superior hitter.
"JJW is the vastly superior hitter". I'd feel much better about your claim if Wetherholt's BA was closer to .280.

Not the most relevant stat to judge a hitter, guess that .56 OB% and near .800 OPS are meaningless. :roll:

To be considered an outstanding hitter. Why not have an impressive BA, too?

If someone wants to see how well a high strike out rate low average translates to the majors take a look at how well Spencer jones is doing for the Yankees. That’s how Baez would look if called up and jones was hitting a lot better then Baez at AAA it just goes to show if you can’t make contact with minor league pitching you will be helpless in the majors

I'm not saying Wetherholt is not a fine talent. I'm glad he's a Cardinal. I'm just disappointed in his current batting average. Kind of like I'm disappointed in Burleson's current BA vs LHP. And Baez' high K rate.

2 for 4 with a home run, 2 RBI, 2 runs, a walk. This game is dedicated to the “Wetherholt’s BA is .233” crowd.

Our leadoff hitter has more HRs than our 3rd hitter.

Burleson had a monster game. Whether you lightweights acknowledge it or not.

He did have a good game. He hit a homer. The error on the throw that went right through his glove kinda taints it.

"taints it" is weak. But understandable coming from you. I think it's best to "Add foe" you and your nonsense.

Cherry pick all you want. Wetherholt > Burleson at baseball.

Burleson wins at batting average (for now).

Wetherholt wins at home run power, OBP, speed, base running, glove, hitting LH pitching, and arm. And several years younger with much less experience in the minors and majors. Just wait until you see the difference in the contracts they receive.
