False. They're close, but false. Ruggiano: .247/.354/.395/.749 OPS+=104 with 2 HR and 8 RBI Schierholtz: .251/.301/.470/.770 OPS+ =107 with 21 HR and 68 RBI I'm not sure what obscure stats you're looking at, but Nate certainly had better numbers last year. Nate has the SLG but Ruggiano has the much more important 53 point lead in OBP. I'm sure the "obscure" non-RBI stats also have something to say.
