January 20, 20242 yr 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
January 20, 20242 yr Oh this thread is misleading, I thought they were gonna fight each other, maybe in a cage.
January 20, 20242 yr 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.

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.

January 21, 20242 yr 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.
January 21, 20242 yr 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.

He’s a pretty bad defender, doesn’t walk a lot, doesn’t hit for average and has no speed. He can hit 20 dongs and with some doubles but that’s all he’s really good for

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.

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

January 22, 20242 yr In my Show 23 franchise DLC is a weak side platoon guy. Only starts against lefties.
