Clyde Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 This came up tonight on Twitter and maybe on 700WLW. Who is the better hitter? Use "better hitter" however you define it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincySportsFan Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'm sure I'll get blasted for this, but...I'd take Votto. You put him 3rd in the lineup behind Rose and Morgan, and ahead of Bench and Foster, and he'd have had a gawdy stat line. Doggie was great, don't get me wrong. But, I think he benefitted more from the surrounding players in the lineup than Joey has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRCW Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Votto is definitely the better hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 My vote goes to Votto as well. I'll have to ask my grandpa what he thinks about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDAWGS19 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Votto...easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Votto... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnboy13 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 You can't compare the two, two TOTALLY different era's in TOO many ways. BTW, I'd take Tony Perez, but then again that's when baseball was fun to watch. Trying to watch today's game ranks right up there with Golf & Tennis......:puke: at least that's my 2 cents worth. :lol2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 So you don't watch Votto? Might explain why you don't think he's better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Lets look at it from the stats side of things. Perez BA .279 OBP .341 SLG .463 OPS .804 162 game AVG - 74 Runs 22 HR 96 RBI 54 BB 109 K Votto BA .312 OBP .424 SLG .538 OPS .962 162 game AVG - 97 Runs 29 HR 95 RBI 110 BB 127 K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I gotta go to work Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'll take Votto over any Red from any era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRCW Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'll take Votto over any Red from any era. I'll take Frank Robinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine the number Votto could put up with better protection like Perez had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRCW Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Looks like an easy answer to me. Just imagine the number Votto could put up with better protection like Perez had. He also would have less RBI opportunities having to share them with Bench, Morgan, and Foster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
