Bregman draws more walks, works counts longer and hits more liners in the gaps. He generally makes pitchers work harder and has a little more speed on the basepaths. He can potentially hit 30-35 homers and therefore erasing the strength of Springer hitting leadoff. Gurriel could be a great 2 hitter but his inabiity to work counts makes him a better 5 hitter. I like him at the 4 spot too, even though hes primarily a gap hitter.
Bregman 2nd half last year plus 1st half this year.... 612 AB’s 181 hits 107 runs 47 doubles 5 Triples 28 home runs 101 RBI’s 17 steals 94 k’s 74 BB’s .296 BA .903 OPS This is batting 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 8th (Primarily 2nd and 6th)
moving Springer out of lead off, going after Car m why would anyone want to follow him home. he is no Big Yao! http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php?threads/yao-sighting-at-his-house-pics-included.126070/
