Javy called up to Cubs

[Cubswin11]

In the spirit of comparing players per the Baseball-Reference site, what would everyone's top 10 comparable list look like for Javy as of today?

Been saying it for a while but I think Carlos Gomez with more power and less SB+Defensive value is a good comp.

They might not be comparable statistically, but visually, Jose Bautista homeruns always remind me of Javy with that slow leg lift.

Or maybe I'm overthinking it and it's just supposed to be one person having a blast and the other being miserable?

 

Bingo

 

:good: Copy that

Guys, we've been through a lot together the last few years, but the important thing is that cooler heads prevailed and we never let negativity get us down! The future is here today and I love you all. Edited August 4, 2014 by Sammy Sofa

jose valentin with fewer walks but more avg is a baez comp that i've kept to myself for a while now.

 

very realistic comp imo

To some extent, I think Javy's adjustment to MLB might not take as long as his AAA adjustment did.

 

He had to make the adjustment in approach to being pitched smarter than he was at AA. Now he's going to have to adjust to better stuff while being pitched smarter. That will take a little bit, but I think what he already did at AAA in terms of approach may have been the harder part.

Yeah, that's not a bad comp.

 

The one I was keeping to myself was Bill Hall with a bit more power.

Worth noting that in my CBS Fantasy league this is what a pop up player profile looks like normally:

This is what Javy's looks like:

Heading into this season it thought Rizzo was less than a two win player.

Javy has a big enough face to balance out Rizzo's lack of one.
