07/08/2017 11:25 AM -

We here at the Cane Cutters thought it would be an interesting thought experiment to compare our guys to MLB players, and have done so using the Wins Above Replacement metric. Without going into the tedious details of the calculations we ran, we have decided to share which MLB players our guys are most similar to based on their success through the first half of the TCL season:
