who would u rather have

Would need more info before selecting one over the other.

If both hitters had 500 at bats and because no other totals were used we hypothetically use singles and home runs for all the hits.

Hitter 1 would have 200 hits - 197 singles and 3 HRs.

Hitter 2 would have 135 hits - 85 singles and 50 HRs.

Hitter 1 accounts for 209 Total Bases. 3 HRs = 12 + 197 singles = 209 Total Bases. Even if adding the 50 SBs = 259

Hitter 2 accounts for 285 Total Bases. 50 HRs = 200 + 85 singles = 285 Total Bases.

And hitter 2 being a power hitter probably would have even more extra base hits, making the difference greater.

Sounds like a couple players everyone would want on their team. A great lead off hitter and a great 3 or 4 hole hitter.

Depends on who's hitting in front of him. If the one(s) in front don't get on base, there is no one for the singles hitter to drive in. I'd take the power hitter in that case. But I prefer higher average hitters to power hitters.

The second one. But the reality is that a .400 hitter is not going to drive in only 30 runs no matter where you put him in the lineup. The two hitters would actually end up being pretty close to equal in production but I'd still go with the 50 home runs even though my personal bias is in favor of batting average.

u guys made goods points

[ I want both of these guys

I don't understand the indecision here, 50 HR's, 115 RBI's easy. It's 30 runs vs. 115 runs. hmm.
