Patsy Dougherty vs. Patsy Tebeau

[Cowtipper]

We're playing the "who is better than his most similar comp" game.

My starting point was Tommy Dowd, the guy with the lowest WAR among all batters with at least 5,000 plate appearances. I hope to work my way up to *somebody* vs. Babe Ruth. That'd be cool.

Which of these players would you like to build your franchise around?

If the downward trand of Dougherty's comps continues whe will be unbeatable. Does Patsy Donovan show up so can have a battle of the Patsy's?

This one goes to Mr. Dougherty.

There are some good competitors coming up at some point, if I did my math correctly.

I think the only reason Welch dropped off is because his WAR was slightly lower than Dougherty's. But now Dougherty's is like eight points lower now that they posted their 'revised' numbers.
