Walks aside, Chipper generated more offense than Edgar. And played defense.
Chipper in, Edgar out.
Chipper 303/401/529 and 558 runs of offense per fangraphs (the hitting and baserunning part of their WAR calculation...but no defense)
Edgar 312/418/515 and 500 runs of offense per fangraphs
Edgar's line is a little better but Chipper had almost 2000 more PAs, so that explains the higher Oruns total.
And, yeah, the fact that Chipper played gold glove defense is why he has such a big WAR lead over guys like Derek Jeter and Edgar Martinez.
