40 points better in average, 30 points in OBP and fifteen steals to none, delmon also has more runs, and played in the outfield.

No mention on number of at bats, but i dont compare hitters who have upwards of a fifty point difference in batting average and play different positions. Thats a bit of a stretch, even with a couple of similar numbers on other stat lines.

come on man, you can do better than that!
