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.
