Mostly correct, but what you should say is that Bagwell will give us much better quality at-bats then Lamb, given that he won't be swinging at every pitch and has a much better chance of actually getting on base, either through a walk or a hit. I personally would much rather have Bags in this role for this reason, especially in a series like this where every run, and therefore baserunner, will be gold. Lamb has more power, that's about it.
