Yaz vs. Greenberg

Yaz vs. Greenberg

Postby seeker57 » Wed Jul 19, 2006 10:04 am

I am playing a team in Yankee '56. Just how much better is Yaz over Hank Greenberg? Originally, I thought Yaz to be the best, hands down, but recently, Greenberg higher ave. and OBP may even overshadow his defensive liabilities.
Being somewhat underconfident over my performances as of late, I welcome the opinions of my betters (i.e. anyone who might respond!)
Thanks for the help.

I'd go counter-intuitive and figure that I'd be facing lefties in Yankee Stadium and go with Greenburg.

All other thing equal, Greenberg will cost more runs defensively than he will overperform Yaz offensively.

However, if you surround Hank with great defenders, and you have lots of other lefties in the lineup, and your division is packed with LHPs, then Hank is worth a look. But, if your opposition hasn't stacked their staff with lefties, the ballpark difference just about equalizes the perform of Yaz and Hank.
