Would you rather have Billy Hamilton or Matt Carpenter leading off for the Cardinals?
Once Billy Hamilton learns to walk more he will quickly surpass Carpenter and Carpenter is a top 5 leadoff hitter imo. In 40 less ABs BH has 14 less runs, 1 more HR, 2 less RBI, 32 more SB but 32 less BB. When Billy puts on 15-20 lbs of muscle and walks more I think he has the potential to be a top 10 player in MLB.
