Please note the eerie consistency of Player A's home runs and Player B's walks.
The 40 HR run guy is definitely Adam Dunn.
ReplyDeleteThe consistent walks guy at first glance looked like Todd Helton stats, but I figured the walks might have been too low. I think its probably Ichiro.
Adam Dunn and Ichiro are correct.
ReplyDeleteThese two guys are they poster pair for OPS. In the old days people would say "Ichiro hit .350 last year, Dunn hit .260, he's way better." But thanks to OPS we have a higher plane of understanding and we know that Dunn is the better player, and by quite a significant margin.
