vanwelyi Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Who is better? Superficially, I considered BDC to be the better player. I took a closer look at the stats and the new fancy stats that you young whippersnappers use favor Sanchez. Apparently, BDC is considered a huge defensive liability. So if someone put a gun a to your head and said which player will be in your outfield next year. A} BDC B} Jesus C) Go ahead and shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rydawg Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Sanchez is the superior all around talent in my opinion. I'm not an advanced stats guy, BTW. For me, DLC is a valuable 4th OF. The problem with Sanchez is that they don't let him hit against left handed pitching. I wish they would give him a shot but they seem unwilling to thus far. At least he's on the better side of a platoon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he's on the better side of a platoon. I think Sanchez definitely has a higher ceiling to reach in terms of talent for sure. If DLC could just be consistent he'd be a very very good bat in a lineup (as a spot start OF or even a DH). DLC took strides last year and was more consistent but so was Sanchez (especially second half). The annoying thing here is neither of them have really wrested a full time starting role from the other. Sanchez also plays better D but man he can be a fucking space case at times too. He just seems like a goofy sob and hasn't matured yet (not in the same vein as Jazz not maturing though) - stuff like calling guys off a fly ball etc still seem to elude him and he's been at this for awhile. It's really a tossup imo. Overall, I feel more comfortable with DLC getting a key at bat than I do with Sanchez at this juncture though.

Valid Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Sanchez is the better player, but he goes through too many peaks and valleys. DLC is more consistent. I'm taking Sanchez because he is the superior talent, but he needs to do it over 162 games rather than in spurts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SongInTheAir Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Last season, in high leverage situations, Jesus Sanchez hit .306/.405/.500. In those same situations, De La Cruz hit just .245/.333/.453. In one key at bat, I'm taking Jeezy every time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can hit 20 dongs and with some doubles but that’s all he’s really good for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No saying he is a 4th OF implies he shouldnt be starting for more than 80 games a season at most, probably more like 60-70 tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamer projections have him a 1WAR player next year which isn’t terrible. Maybe he’s got a 25-30 hr season him. I guess we better hope so since he’ll be a starter this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
