This is a pretty humorous prospect debate. Because Hanley used to be overrated, but since he didn't perform that great in AA people are seeing more of what he really is ... though he is still has that potential word. Now people are all of a sudden starting to overrate Hardy, and based on what? Well because he hit over .300 in not even 200 AB's and having 1 good power month. It's all pretty funny when you look at it and then have someone want to compare to two.
To make it real simple I'll put it like this, they basically have shown they will hit for around the same avg., both should hit around 15 HR's (though Hanley does have the potential to hit more), but Hanely easily has the upper hand when it comes to speed. Hardy won't steal at all and Hanley should get you 20-30 SB's. The x-factor is Hardy should be in quite a bit better line up then Hanley. Anyways hope that helps you out.
