Of course Scott is right, because he looked them up. Who would have figured this? After 2005 everyone made a big deal about Howard, but Duncan last year was actually better, except for RBI which were a product of how they were used.

And this year while Howard was a top fantasy selection, Master Bates is getting very similar production out of Duncan who was a late round draft pick.

Not saying the players are comparable, but pointing out the statistics are closer than you'd think.
