What MLB Player are you like?

I thought that since this thread in the basketball section was entertaining i'd make it baseball related. I'll start.

I'm like Ichiro, because I consistently get on base, normally through singles/walks, but sometimes a double. I'm fast and end up in the top in steals for my team. I play outfield, mainly center, and don't have the strongest arm but make up for it with my range.

I'm like a Nick Swisher with speed. I'm not talking about the numbers though, I'm talking about our approaches at the plate. We are both switch hitters which are different identities on both sides of the plate, can cover the inside pitches well and train our eyes to not offer out of the strike zone often.

Obviously he has much more strength than me so he'll be hammering the ball around the field much better than I would, but until I can think of another player more representative of my likeness I'm going to have to go with Swish.

If were going with active ball players I would have to say I was a lot like Travis Wood. I was also left handed and had good command but not a over powering fastball although my pitching stats were more like Nolan Ryan as I always had high strike out totals. Also thru a few no hitters and 1 perfect game in my career.

Logan Morrison, I got some speed and am an average defender. I don't usually swing at bad pitches, get on base, hit my fair share of doubles and an occassional HR. However i'm not a lefty lol, but couldn't think of a better guy.

Like the rest this is all in likeness and not actual numbers. However this is just what I notice when I play my usual pick up baseball game most weekends and not like HS ball or anything

Offensively, right handed Brett Gardner. I was very patient, good contact hitter, almost never struck out, very little power, most of my extra base hits were hit down the line and/or hustle plays. Really fast and really good instincts. Pretty much every time I got on I would steal 2nd first pitch, and I'd usually take 3rd too.

But I played 3rd base and catcher most of my life, and I can't think of and 3rd baseman or catchers like that. I had a really good glove, but below average arm. Had really quick hands, but not a lot of range.

When I played, I sucked on defense and I couldn't hit anything if my life depended on me.

Dear God, I was a 12 year old version of 2010 Melky Cabrera.

Buster Posey. Ive always been a good catcher and Ive got a good arm. I am pretty decent hitter and hit clean up for most of the season in the 18+ league I played for. Taking this year off sadly to heal up a knee injury I got not playing baseball lol.
