Which 20 year old CF in AA would you rather have?

Andy McCutchen. Duh.

Cardinals fan.

Andy McCutchen. Duh.

McCutchen for the obvious.

What's the obvious? Name one thing McCutchen clearly does better than Rasmus.

Numbers coming into this season:

McCutchen: 741 AB, 19 HR, 40 SB, 87/141 BB/K ratio, .377 OBP, .445 SLG

Rasmus: 712 AB, 23 HR, 41 SB, 77/163 BB/K ratio, .364 OBP, .483 SLG

At that point I would give the slight edge to McCutch mostly because he got to AA and succeeded a little, while Rasmus tore up A ball, and struggled a little in Hi A. Pretty much the reason why every "expert" ranked McCutchen higher on there lists.

Now this year there lines look this:

McCutchen: 104 AB, 2 HR, 3 SB, 6/26 BB/K ratio, .232 OBP, .327 SLG

Rasmus: 108 AB, 4 HR, 4 SB, 10/15 BB/K ratio, .350 OBP, .528 SLG

I would say there pretty much even at this point in there career, and the only reason I take Rasmus over McCutch is he has better projectability. From what I hear McCutch may be lucky to be 5'10 while Rasmus is a legit 6'2. And it seems like I'm not the only one who thinks Rasmus is better because over at minorleagueball Rasmus is currently leading in the close vote between the 2 with 65 votes in, also the poster fewgoodcards does a decent breakdown over there too.

This one is blindingly obvious at this point--Rasmus. +1 to bigboy.

McCutchen, but Rasmus is better defensively.

-1 bigboy although Rasmus has turned it around the past couple weeks and I think I still rather have him.
