March 31, 201610 yr So I work with a big Pittsburgh fan. He tried telling me that Bryant was over hyped and I said well McCutchen was too and he's like no he's not. So we made a $100 bet to see who would go farther Pirates or the Cubs. So my ? Is if you had to pick between these two to be on your team. Who would it be? Bryant or McCutchen.
March 31, 201610 yr I 100% do not think that McCutchen is over hyped. This season, I'd take McCutchen. From today moving forward for their careers, give me Bryant. 5 years younger.
March 31, 201610 yr Cheaper and younger. Bryant easily, he's not a free agent till 2022. McCutchen is a FA in 2018 and will want to be paid.
April 1, 201610 yr I'd take Mike Trout over either of them--now and 5 years from now. Yea and I'd take Mariano Rivera over Latroy Hawkins in their primes, but that wasn't the question that was asked...
April 1, 201610 yr Also, your $100 bet is based on how the other 24 guys on the team do, not just these guys.
April 5, 201610 yr Had the pleasure of seeing Bryant live tonight. Stud! McCutchen is a reds killer. Great player. He gets my vote tonight. Not in 3-4 years.
April 5, 201610 yr He hit 3 more than McCutchen last year. Yes as a rookie, 3 more than a 5x all star, if you would like to place a wager on who hits more this year let me know.
April 5, 201610 yr Yes as a rookie, if you would like to place a wager on who hits more this year let me know. I wouldn't because I think Bryant will hit more. The point is you have a one year sample size from Bryant. Based on what we know today who you giving your money to. McCutchen has proven who he is and you know what you will get. Bryant has one year to judge him by. My real point was you made your comment on power. It's not like Bryant hit 10 more HR's than McCutchen who did hit 31 just a few years ago.
