Discussion Topic: Everyday Player Versus Pitcher

Posted By: Mike

I guess a recent example would be a Minnesota Twins decision made a few years ago, where they had to decide between pitching Phenom prospect Mark Prior, or phenom prospect catcher Joe Mauer. Obviously took Mauer. Prior is constantly on injured reserve. Adding of course that any player is subject to injury. But when a starting pitcher goes down, for whatever reason, it really disrupts the starting rotation. To take it a bit further, would Ruth have been more valuable as a pitcher, or an outfielder? In my mind an every day player, who can contribute over many years, is much more valuable that a player who only contributes every fourth or fifth day. If you had to pick between Koufax and Mays, who would you pick ?
