Jerry Sands or Trayvon Robinson

by Brandon Lennox on Jul 25, 2011 2:50 PM PDT

I posted my minor league left field rankings today, and Phil brought up a solid poll question in the comments.

Who will have a better career: Jerry Sands or Trayvon Robinson?

I'm not going to put up advanced statistics to skew anyone's vote, although feel free pull up their numbers before you cast your vote.

I picked Trayvon because “Xavier Paul” is more successful than “2009 Chad Tracy”

or rather, in my mind, I figure Trayvon can at least be a 4th OF/PR type. Sands is going to be boom or bust.

Tray seems like he’s dropped the whole speed thing this year, and there’s a lot of faster guys that can’t hit floating around on waivers.

Is Michael Cuddyer "boom"

because I could see that. And I’ll take that for sure.

Trayvon seems safer

Jerry has the higher ceiling though

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.

I am very interested

in seeing how Trayvon handles major league pitchers

I don’t know. Sands already been to the bigs so I guess he can adjust. Robinson hasn’t so I’m gonna go with sands. But I’m pulling for trayvon to make an impression. JE-RRY! JE-RRY! JE-RRY!

133 votes (as of right now) seems like a lot.

I voted Sands for the hit tool, but I’d be happy to be proved wrong.

by kinbote on Jul 25, 2011 7:07 PM PDT reply actions

Sands will play 1B next year and Robinson will play LF. I think we all know that don't we?

by stevesaxaphone on Jul 26, 2011 11:01 AM PDT reply actions

yeah, in ABQ
