La verdad que hoy sabado me paso por la mente recordando el bateo de Sandoval en lo parecido a los condiciones fisicas y habilidades que tiene con el inmortal Tony Gwinn. La verdad que son tantas cosas en las que se paresen que se podria decir que es su hijo sin la menor duda, y la gente diria "guau sin duda que heredo todas las condiciones de su padre".

Luego agarre y me meti en Internet para ver si ya alguien hablaba de los similares que son y efectivamente. 😀

Pablo Sandoval is the Giants hitter I worry the least about. It’s probably wishful thinking, but I honestly describe him to people as a slower Tony Gwynn who can catch. Yes it was a small sample size in the big leagues last year… but he’s absolutely continued to rake ever since. I guess we have to wait a while to say he officially is what we’ve been seeing since he was called up late last year, but color me convinced.

The Gwynn comp would be more appealing if I thought there was a chance in hell of Sandoval walking ~50 times a season.

or most of his career, gwynn was more in the 30-45 bb per season range, but point taken. Shall we say, “a poor man’s slow tony gwynn who can catch”?

It was 52. Gwynn hardly ever came close to 162 games in a season, though.
I think the lack of walks will be offset by more pop. It wasn’t until the last 3rd of Gwynn’s career that he starting pulling and driving the ball. sandoval should be able to regularly eclipse career-high season of 17 HRs.
