Quite true. This is the whole basis for the "Worthless stats of the day" bit, you know ?? The point of this exercise is not to show that Perez is better than Ramirez, but rather to make an editorial comment on the fact that somebody thinks Perez saying that he's not as good as Ramirez is even newsworthy !!
