Witt, without doubt.

if Witt and Henderson had traded places this season, what would the Oriole record be?

Pretty sure this isn't part 2.

I'm holding out until part 12 before I cast my vote.

Yeah, this could be a debate that lasts 15+ years.   Witt is having the better year, which is really saying something considering the year Gunnar is having.

This is a fresh question. 

 

Up until the ASB most would have said Gunnar...there's still a few seasons left before the books get closed on either of them. 

[HowAboutThat]

Gunnar needs to work on his defense.

Until Gunnar gets back to reliably catching and throwing the ball, this is no longer close. I imagine he will get the fielding together but this has been about as bad of a run as I can remember. 

[Aristotelian]

Witt. He is a more consistent hitter. Gunnar has a few more HR but Witt is hitting over .330. He is just more consistent offensively and probably better on defense as well. That being said, I'd rather have Gunnar-Adley than Witt and whoever else they picked. 

[Moose Milligan]

It's probably Witt.

I will say this, though...Witt is hitting .337, his on base is .390.  His on base percentage is heavily propped up by his batting average.  If he comes back to earth next year and hits .280-.290, his OBP will probably be somewhere around .330-.340. Still very good, but not what it is this year.  It remains to be seen if Witt will be hitting .330 every year.

Like I said, it's probably Witt but that's due to the defense.  Good news for us is that Gunnar can clean that up.
