Who will end up with a more successful MLB season?

[Balsa]

This year, two young, rising superstar secondbasemen have drawn the eyes of fans...

 

Both Ian Kinsler and Howie Kendrick are kickin' tail on their teams.....

Howie, even though he's hurt right now.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Howie.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I like Howie a little more, but I'd take either. I shall make no mention of option 3.

Neither guy is a rookie.

Why is everyone so sold on Kendrick?

[Marco4]

Is it relative success? By which I mean, if Neifi takes a walk at any point is he a success?

Very good minor league numbers. .361/.405/.570. I'm not a huge fan of batting average, but a .361 career average in the minors is ridiculous.

I've liked Kinsler for awhile. I expected a 20/20 season with an average around 275-280. So far, he's exceeded my expectations.

Yeah, we hate to burst your bubble, but neither are rookies. You could substitute "young, rising superstar secondbasemen" instead.

Likewise. I think Kendrick ends up with better AVG/OBP, while Kinsler ends up with better production value in the HR/RBI department. I think they will each have anywhere between 15-25SB.

 

It's a wash. I actually had to drop Kendrick from my team to pick up Ian Snell. If only I could see into the future and see that Tulowitzki was going to suck so bad I would've swapped him out instead of Kendrick

[Butterscup1679666578]

Kinsler is from Mizzou, so he'll have the better year.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Kinsler is from Mizzou, so he'll have the better year.

 

I want to change my vote to Kinsler.

[Prior4CyYoung]

I voted for kendrick since Kinsler is from Mizzou

[Brian]

I voted for Neifi because of his brother's sweet singing voice.
