These players, keep in mind, are basically the exact same age (born 10 days apart in the same year). Also, both are listed as left fielders:
Player A: .279/.374/.380 SLG 89 SB, 25 CS (78%) 303 G 1044 AB
Player B: .276/.342/.381 SLG 172 SB 46 CS (79%) 461 G 1753 AB
Player A is Ryan Freel and Player B is Scott Podsednik. The only noticeable differences are Pods has had more PT and is a lefty and Freel walks a lot more, is a much better defender, and plays a lot more positions
As much as I love Pods....he's a lot like Freel, a really fast utility player. Pods will improve and get his hits as long as he stays healthy, but I think we need to put in perspective just how good Pods actually is.
Or get Ryan Freel!
