Andruw Jones or Torii Hunter? Who would you take?

[brandnew]

I never said he'd be better than Aramis. I said he'd be on par at least. I have way too high expectations for Andruw this year, because he's that good. I don't see Aramis hitting .320 again.

Rough projections for each (Don't mind the homerism):

Andruw: .282, 41 HR, 109 RBI, 101 Runs, 6 SB

Aramis: .304, 37 HR, 108 RBI, 105 Runs, 1 SB

Andruw has just as many RBI opps as Aramis. He's got Furcal, Giles, Chipper ahead of him, instead of Patterson, Nomar, and (Lee?), or Patterson, Hairston, Nomar

Furcal's, Giles', and Chipper's OBP's blow away those three's..

While I think those numbers while technically possible for Andrew, won't happen...If he hits that many homers, which he is capable of, his average defiantly won't be in the .280's Also his RBI's are a few too high and his Runs are way to high. He will get those steals though.

I agree. My projections for him are:
.268, 95 runs, 34 HR, 102 RBI, 7 SB

Now those I agree with so0p

Like I said, ya gotta mind my homerism for Andruw. He was one of the highly touted prospects in a while... I think this is the year he breaks out of his own little shell.

Just gotta wait for the season to start

I feel ya, I'm a Braves fan and while I wish he'd get his average up, he put up great power numbers in a lineup that defiantly isn't power heavy and plays a great center field

Yeah... I don't think he's ever been so committed to step his game up, and I think he realizes how important he is to the team's success this year. He's looked really good during spring training.

He's brought back his stance from his minor league career and the one he used in the playoffs. It looks really good, shortened up, short stride, trying to use the whole plate, making contact with 2 strikes, and the best part, not flailing on that down and away breaking pitch!

yeah I'm hoping his new stance will help, though I haven't really gotten to see him use it yet...worried about the Mets and Marlins this year , hopefully the streak will continue

Heh, don't be, the Marlins have no pitching staff behind their 1-2, and the Mets' pitching staff is really bad, along with that "bullpen." Pitching wins

I know its only spring training,but Andrew does have 7HR and 14RBI to lead the majors. Not that this means a whole lot, but it shows he's heading in the right direction to have a good yr.
