Distracting items...

Looking for some silver linings I put this thing together. Apologies for not knowing how to create a chart in ezcode. Player A and Player B at similar stages in their career. Anybody want to guess who's who?

I'm guessing the 24 year old is Wright, the 22 year old...ARod?

Okay, well that wasn't nearly as challenging as I thought it would be. I'm not saying that Wright could ever become the type of hitter Rodriguez is but still I found the similarities from the beginnings of their careers interesting.

The thing that really jumps out is the difference in OBP

Nice comparision -- but the biggest "stat" on that whole line is the one marked 'AGE'. ARod had ~200 ABs in the majors before he turned 20 and nearly half of that sample by the time he was the same age as Wright at his call-up. And it's those early years - the same ones Wright was spending in A-ball - that are dragging down the overall averages.
