The comparison game is one I tend to try to avoid. Comps can occasionally be informative, but too many will tend to consider a comp an over/under. Eventually, someone will comp someone to Javier Baez, and people will wildly assume that the on-field performances will be equal. Perhaps the comp is that he’s going to have fun every game, and push the boundaries of possibility. When a person places a comp, pay less attention to who, and more interest in why. Today, I go with a completely absurd comp for Ian Happ, and the key for the article is in the why.
Who are some good historical comps for Ian Happ?
