Rizzo has a higher WAR, higher SLG, more HRs, more total bases. way less K's. Votto just walks more

Oh so you're one of those guys. I highly doubt you ever won anything of significance in baseball if you ever played at all because your coachesustbe been horrible. Any decent coach will tell you getting on base is the only job a batter has. Notated where you are in the lineup

Joe blanton just struck him out looking. Just thought I'd throw that out there


Just because it reminded me of this...Paul Daugherty advocates trading young Joey Votto and Homer Bailey straight up for Joe Blanton in 2008: LINK

Could only find the FireJoeMorgan* version. I would remove that from my archives if I was Paul Daugherty, too.

*Crazy that the FJM owner went on to be a big part of the Office and create Parks and Rec and Brooklyn 99.

Rizzo and Votto are pretty even as far as production is concerned, but I'd much rather have Rizzo as a teammate and face of my franchise.
When 2 players are as similar as these 2 are, I'd much rather have the guy with the character of Rizzo as the face of my franchise.

What is wrong with Votto's character? I've always thought he came across as a intelligent and thoughtful guy.

Votto is really smart, but I think he may have a bit of a temper.
