TT: Who would you want as a full-time DH?

[Enjoy Terror]

D is the only one I can't figure out. I even looked up the stats; no one in the IL had those stats in 2016 from what I can tell.

Thanks. I know it's natural to try and figure out who is who, and it won't be rocket science to figure out some, but I'll obviously follow this up with names shortly.

I don't think the poll is working correctly up above. Maybe it's me.

Guests can vote and are registered as voting but the votes don't show up on the total.

That is what it look like to me.

I only see 10 out of 62 votes shown, and I can't vote.

D

A

C

B

Really like A's low strikeout total, but D's youth wins the day.

Give me player B.  He has the most strikeouts.

Must mean he swings harder.

Same here.
I'm also curious as to why A is included.

Because A is the best?

I'm with you.  No idea who D is.  Based solely on the info provided, I have to vote for whoever he is in this poll.  Also, I believe that player A is 28 years old.

[Number5]

Can't vote for some reason, but as I said, mark me down for D.

Couldn't vote either. Went for D. A is Montero, no?

Not according to the numbers I'm looking at on milb.com.

[25 Nuggets]

A is not Montero, and he's not in the Orioles organization, which is why I inquired.  Maybe he's a DFA candidate.

At a quick glance, I'm guessing this exercise requires us to project MLB offensive success by evaluating two factors: (1) AAA age combined with (2) how their most recent stat-line compares to their career minor league average.

 I wouldn't lick my chops at any of these numbers. MLB FT-DH should carry the ability and expectation to carry a high .OPS (>.800). 

C/D have the solid age + stats for AAA, with D's younger age & impressive stat line possibly indicating a high ceiling. D should be given a shot at DH, platoon or FT. 

C's age for AAA is not old and his stats were decent. Combined with a good-looking career average, C could succeed. Ceiling is less attractive than D's. DH platoon consideration to begin.   

A's mediocre career minor league average + older AAA age outweighs a decent year at AAA. Minor league filler/AAAA-type player. Wouldn't consider for DH.

B is a fringe prospect. Career numbers are not impressive. Latest AAA stat-line for his age is pretty bland. Not DH worthy.
