Mets get Carlos Delgado

[Keyser Soze]

Three year averages...

Ortiz, 75 runs, 139 hits, 31 HRs, 105 RBIs, 59 walks, .289 avg, .366 OBP

Delgado, 98 runs, 145 hits, 36 HRs, 117 RBIs, 93 walks, .284 avg, .403 OBP

Are these 3-year averages from 3 completely random seasons? It would probably be a lot more relevant to compare the PREVIOUS 3 seasons, which would look more like this:

Ortiz: 97 runs, 161 hits, 40 HR, 129 RBI, 78 BB, .297 BA, .382 OBP
Delgado: 91 runs, 151 hits, 36 HR, 120 RBI, 83 BB, .292 BA, .399 OBP

However, if you compared Delgado to Ortiz from 2000 to 2002, it would look like this:

Ortiz: 52 runs, 100 hits, 16 HR, 62 RBI, 47 BB, .265 BA, .342 OBP
Delgado: 107 runs, 165 hits, 38 HR, 116 RBI, 112 BB, .300 BA, .428 OBP

So on that front, you do make a great point. Delgado > Ortiz.

i'm not even saying delgado is better, im saying he's at least as good if not better than ortiz.

thanks for being the only other rational person in this thread. as always, bloody anus rules!
