i mean, you responded to barry's post which mentioned "hitters." it's not a big deal, though, i think we are all actually on the same page here.

barry responded to mine, to which i was responding to the guy saying he was a top 5 player.

that's just not who he is. he is an all time great at getting on base. that isn't going to change

yea and im not hating on him. If that is what he wants to do. You have middle of the order hitters slugging .560+ with above average peripherals that I would just rather.

Prime Votto was inflicting more damage when he wasn't taking walks. See his MVP year & the years sandwiching that. Imagine him having Bryce Harper's aggressiveness playing in the NL Centra parks.


Now he's a bad night or 2 from his SLG dropping below .500 Kind like his first half this year which wasnt anything remotely close to top 5 type hitting.
