His career started in a bumpy way.  He was considered something of a platoon player from the wrong side, he had inconsistent performances and spent a lot of time on the DL for the Dodgers for a couple seasons before a couple wrist surgeries derailed his career.  He, like Saunders, is a big guy, 6'5" and 225 pounds and has always been considered a tweener outfielder.  Like Saunders, he's a high BABiP guy with a .326 career mark(Saunders currently sports a .281 Career BABiP, but had a .340+ BABiP in the minors, Saunders has a better swing than he used to, bats left handed with lots of speed, and is a talented drag bunter,it's going to be much higher by the end of his career).  Saunders could take a similar career arc, maybe better since he doesn't seem to have platoon splits (I'm of the opinion that the vs. RHP will match his LHP prowess) and doesn't have near Werth's injury history.
