Two years ago, Yasiel Puig would have brought back any player in baseball other than Trout and probably Harper.
Today, the Cubs would hesitate at least a bit to trade Schwarber for him...having already experienced the Sammy Show. Things change so quickly now in baseball.
Once in a generation hitters are guys like Pujols, Trout, Bonds, Miggy Cabrera, Gywnn, Boggs and Harper. He's going to be better than Jose Bautista, for example?
Schwarber has two tools...but can't run, field or throw exceptionally well. The jury is still out on whether guys like Bryant and him can also be high average hitters as well.
we could have an off season argument here about once in a generation hitters LOL, but I will add Frank Thomas to that group
