| LaPorta - he's a better hitter than Snider and has more power. Snider projects as a 30-HR guy while LaPorta could hit 40 one day. Snider is awfull defensively and will be a full time DH while LaPorta has a chance to stick at 1B. I dont know how LaPorta's D would rate at 1B (probably average at best) but he's a liability at OF.

LaPorta. Better hitter, better fielder (not hard to top Snider's fielding).

| LaPorta is better. While neither one will be an average defender at any position, LaPorta is going to at least have a shot of gaining eligibility in the outfield or at first base where Snider has a legit shot of being UTIL only, very early in his career depending on Toronto's use of him/Lind/Overbay.

Snider may get a shot at 1st base eligibility depending on their moves this off-season.He's so far staying put in a 4 man outfield rotation, where the 4th guy plays DH.
Laporta has the edge on Snider, due to his power.If Snider hits 25 Laporta would get 30 etc....

LaPorta.
The man hasn't been able to hit his arse with a banjo since playing for the US, but he'll get back there soon.
