After some Giancarlo discussion:

Who would you rather have?

.290 - 30 HR 120 RBI 100 Runs
.320 - 25 HR 120 RBI 100 Runs
.340 - 15 HR 120 RBI 100 Runs

Hit the pool

Not enough info for your poll. But I like this guy:

 

[Hallsgator]

What is this, 1970?

 

[That's Crucial]

Where's option not enough information?

 

[matfanofold]

Assuming virtually every single thing to be equal thats not mentioned, it would not matter to me. They are all scoring the same and driving in the same. Again, this is assuming everything else is also equal. It's a wash.

It is quite obvious that I couldn't include Stolen bases, slugging, OBP, OPS, etc for each category.

I realize many love Mike Stanton, and this is what really got me thinking. What Batting average does he need to be at to get to superstar levels? Can he get there batting .250? I am curious to see how it plays out over the next couple of years.

It doesn't matter how pretty his batting average is if he's smashing 40+ a year. Never seemed to matter to McGwire fans.

Chicks dig the long ball.

too easy...
obviously the 15 HR guy is the best player for any team, he drove in 120 runs, and will get on base far more than the others so the batters behind him will have more RBIs. also with more hits, makes the pitcher face more batter thus more pitches thrown

 

[noaskiecards]

on...........base.........percentage

Option 1 is Adam Dunn, right? That's essentially my view when I voted.

No. Adam Dunn is option 0.

.159 - 11 HR 42 RBI 36 Runs

No no, I was saying, at his best, this was Adam Dunn. And to your point: who wants Adam Dunn now?

 

[bigpapiMA32]

Whichever one has the highest wOBA

 

[jbhofmann]

The following would probably make a better poll

.250 - 40 HR 120 RBI 85 Runs
.290 - 30 HR 105 RBI 100 Runs
.320 - 25 HR 90 RBI 120 Runs
.340 - 15 HR 75 RBI 130 Runs

I'd have to disagree. Historically there has almost never been a hobby star with a low batting average. McGwire is a rare exception because he broke the HR record and had all of America following his every plate appearance.

DITTO! That is how i voted.

 

[hoos]

Clearly the guy with the .340 average, as long as he also walks as much as the others. The 40 HR guy will never get you many more runs scored than he already does, but throw another stud in the lineup behind the .340 guy and you win more games.

Mark Reynolds hits bombs every year and he gets no hobby love. He also bats around 200.
