Player A is John Mayberry
Player B is Greg Golson

Over a whole season I would take JMJ over Golson and twice on sundays. Both players k a lot, but JMJ has improved his plate discipline every year. So basically you have 1 player who k's a lot but has massive power and another who has little power and k's a lot.

I hear a lot about Mayberry on these boards. Have not heard one thing about Golson.

Thanks for allowing biased votes.

There is a little more in the equation than what you stated:

FYI, I voted for Golson. Over a whole season, give me JMJ. You are also comparing 22 AB to almost 50. Both are very streaky players.

This scan basically sums up how I feel about Golson-blurry as hell and kind of crooked.

P.S.- the card is in the same place as my Chaz Roe SOTF Auto.

OK, then...last season:

A: AA/AAA: .264 Ave., 20 HR, 10 SB, .797 OPS - average/mediocre defense at the corner.
B: AA: .282 Ave., 13 HR, 23 SB, .767 OPS - stellar defense in center field, 2 years younger.

Mayberry 104 k's in 515 ABs
Golson 130 k's 426 ABs

You can have Golson, I will take Mayberry.

To fit in with the thread, I'll answer A question, but not the one posed.

A: I don't remember, but I need new ones.

I will take Golson over and over and over....

Kid runs like a deer, gold glove centerfield talent, has tools to be a excellent hitter. If you read any scouting report when he was drafting, everyone thought the bat would come last, and it has. I remember VERY long discussions in the Angels draft room about Golson vs Phil Hughes, because at that time, there were no thoughts that Jered Weaver would fall to us. MANY guys liked golson to hughes.

I am a golson fan. I think he is a superstar talent, and will find his way. He is the classic, raw, 5 tool talent just coming into his own.

Sorry Nikateen, looks like you are losing the vote, despite your attempts to cloud the voting.

if you want to base this off of the Detwiler thread.....

Mayberry is 25 and 1/3 years old.... Already a bust. (just kidding)

Golson is 22 and 1/2 years old... Almost 3 years younger than Mayberry.

Give me the youngster

Overall, I'd say this is one of the less entertaining ST polls we've had. Both players bore the heck out of me. Some speed, some defense, but barely enough talent to be considered replacement level players right now (although, I'd take JMJ if I had to choose between the 2 -- Mayberry--.260-.270 hitter with a shot at 20-30 home runs in Arlington/ Golson --.260 hitter, horrible OBP/OPS below .800, 15 to 20 home runs, 20+ SB ).

Let's get a different poll up
Maybe MadBum vs. Mike Stanton in a home run derby or something like that
Or maybe LaPorta vs. The Universe in everything

I like Mayberry better for the Phils and here's why.

Against left handed pitchers he hit .350, 7 2B, 2 3B, 8 HR, and a 11/6 SO/BB ratio in 100 AB's. With the Phillies lineup stacked with lefties I think he will be a nice fit.

I also voted Golson.

Those guys weren't traded for each other in the offseason.

So there's the catch and the reason for the poll...as well as the hype Mayberry keeps receiving.
