Deolis Guerra vs. Will Inman

4 base runners in 6 innings, 11ks and 2ers??? If thats Inman's worst outing of the season, i'm giving the nod to him over guerra

This debate kind of took on a let's vent about me turn. I just reread some of the posts, and I'm still convinced that Guerra and Inman are easily in the same league.

I'd also still give Guerra a slight nod, but as long as you recognize that the two are close, I'm not going to fault you.

Jason, your arguement for making Inman a clear choice over Guerra still rings pretty weak to me (more than a month later). Is was substantiated more with attacks against my character than arguements on the topic at hand.

I give Inman the edge here. He may be smaller and 2 years older (19..), but you cant refute his season, which was much better than Guerra's. I like both players for the future but with Guerra's age, he may actually gain velocity in the future. This could be a positive or a negative. If he continues to grow and gain strength he should throw harder but may lose some motor skills, having an even more detrimental effect on accuracy.

Another thing I look into heavily is K/BB and Inman is clearly better in that regard. I definitely do not consider Guerra more advanced because he had a couple of High-A starts while Inman didn't. Inman was clearly able to be promoted but it seems the Brewer's have a plan set, which I consider to be a smart move.

It should be interesting to see how the two players develop, but if I had to bet money on which ends up more successful, I would put it on Inman.
