It's close. I love both, but lean AM. Bruce has 35+ hr power.
Bruce has 35+ hr power, theres no question about that, but he's going to bat in the .255 range and steal maybe 7-8 bases.
I view McCutch as a guy that will hit 25 Hr's and steal 25 bags while batting in the .280 range.
RBI's and Runs will probably be close between the two. SO I am not sure why you would want Bruce over McCutch.
I said i prefer AM, but it's close imo. Bruce hit .308 in the minors. He's not a .250 hitter. Bruce win win hrs and rbis easily. And i'm betting the BA is less then 20 points.

Fair enough, I usually agree with alot of your opinions, so its cool.
Although, I will say Bruce has 500 major league games and about 1900 AB's and is a .256 hitter, I would not expect anything more than .255 from Bruce at this point.
