For those who aren't interested in reading all this, here's another breakdown per 700 PA(roughly a full season):
Williams: H 180, 35 2B, 4 3B, 22 HR, 83 BB
Martinez: H 181, 41 2B, 1 3B, 24 HR, 104 BB
For those who've used "massive" and "significant" in relation to the offensive edge Martinez had, please feel free to point it out. If you're having trouble, I'll help you. It's something that happens when you don't swing the bat.
Just for reference.
Prorated over 1 season, two players, same position, real numbers. Both have at least 5000 PA:
Player A: H - 166; 2B - 36; 3B - 4; HR - 13; BB 53
Player B: H - 185; 2B - 34; 3B - 5; HR - 14; BB 70
The difference between these guys is basically 1 hit over 8.5 games and 1 walk over 9.5 games.
Pretty much the same player right?
