Would you rather have Chris Davis or Freddie Freeman for the next eight years?

I think Manny could do these numbers in a couple years.

Maybe.. but will he every have a .400 OBP??

Seems like Manny has AJ syndrome and that will limit his offensive value.

I think he could as well...I just don't think we will have a significant offer like 8/135 ready to lock him up when the time comes. The O's franchise strikes me as very reactive to the market and often caught off guard by its pricing.

They are paying for that stat big time right now. Maybe not so much in a couple years. Power is a BIG deal right now.

If Manny gets hit by pitches 20 times, maybe.

I thought this thread was Davis vs Freeman.

Gotta say Freeman. I think Davis can put up two big years (4+ WAR) at ages 28-29 and probably a few more that are productive (1+ WAR) after that, but Freeman is just entering his prime. Unless Freeman catches Nick Markakis syndrome and has already had his best season(s), he's the obvious choice.

Look like it was s-troll-en into other territories.

Pretty simple question. Freeman is 23, Davis is 27. Freeman posted an .897 OPS last season, Davis 1.004. Freeman is more of a BA/OBP guy, Davis more of a power guy. If you're committed to one through 2021, which is it?

Can't I have them both, put one in DH?

I often wonder why some of you even root for the team. You would prefer other team's players all the time. If you like Freeman so much why not just root for whatever team he is on.

[atomic]

I meant to leave the contract stuff out of it. Just which player do you think will be better over that time frame.

That is not your original question. You said which player would your rather have. I would pick Chris Davis as he is an Oriole and a good one at that. I don't know who will be better over the next 8 years and it doesn't effect my decision of whom I would rather have on the team.

Had to go with Davis. He probably won't get stuck in the snow and ice and have to be rescued by a retired teammate on a 4 wheeler.

[Mayor McCheese]

Freddie -- 3/$45MM for ARB years with 5/$90MM remaining. I don't think its a bad contract.. see what the going rate for a 1B is in a few years!

The Orioles need to start locking up some of that core....If we could get Davis for 5/$90 sign me up!!!!

Hell, I'll take both!

Freeman hits more like Manny. That's what I'm saying. Davis's power is gargantuan.

I was just making a Manny comparison for his offensive upside. Freeman. Davis is a grown man.

Which player we root for was not the question. Freeman is 3.5 years younger, and will still be in his prime in 2021. That pretty much decided the question for me. Of course we root for the Orioles. That doesn't mean we are blind to the facts.
