I know the posts are a bit long, I am not specifically comparing the two of them. I'm talking about projecting guys to the majors that can't hit homers regularly.
The point is the, "woah, look at that batting average and OBP!" gushing we get from BA on telecasts or whatever is very hard to replicate in the majors unless you can put the ball over the fence regularly.
Turang can't hit for a lick of power, so I said he was probably a utility guy before last season.
Black has OK power. So his outcomes are probably
Jake Bauers/Luis Urias (fringe starting infielder with speed) or
Yandy Diaz (needle in a haystack hitter that hits the crap out of the ball. Great OBP but 15 HR most years).
