Theriot vs. Sandberg?

All--

I saw this noted in Al's recap thread of yesterday's game--almost by accident--and with it, propose the following thread:

Theriot vs. Sandberg?  Can they be favourably compared?  Why?  Why not?  Is it even--gasp--possible ... yet?

I'm trying to remember that long ago, but were the fans' excitement levels similar regarding Ryno before he had The Game in 1984?  How about the production numbers?

I think Ryno had the advantage in power, probably in fielding (though folks always mentioned his lack of range), probably not speed ... but I may just be looking at him through 23 years' worth of hindsight.

Have fun, y'all ...
