I bring that up because Starlin kinda reminds me of him.

I don't know how you can call someone overrated that has never hit below .300 and has career average of .331. He's got over 2000 hits and nearly 400 stolen bases. There isn't one team in baseball that this man wouldn't be starting for. And he doesn't drive in runs? Well look at the piece of %%%% team he plays for.

Not in the way you described Ichiro. They both put a lot of balls in play and have pretty high batting average of balls in play and hit a lot of grounders. Lots of speed from both but I don't think he'll get the infield hits Ichiro does batting from the right side. Both hit a good amount of liners but Starlin will turn a lot of those doubles into HR's as he gets older. Maturing and striking out less. One thing Ichiro does do a lot better than him is swing at less balls out of the strike zone but that comes with maturation too.Originally Posted by CP1708

No effing way. Starlin swings hard, works counts, bats 1-2-3 in the order on a given day, and actually tries to drive in runs. He does not slap at balls just to get on base to not be driven in. Don't make that comparison again.
