But Sean Casey seems like a near perfect comp to me. I can't say much about the swing comparisons, but physically, and comparing patience, power, and ball in play style they are extremely similar. They even have a similar history of minor injuries that helped to hold back their careers. Of course until this year, Kotchman wasn't striking line drives like Casey did, so that'll be a big part of his continued success, that, and his improved patience at the plate, which is really the only solid statistic yet available.
