Come again?

2006 Mauer, 574 PA, .344/.428/.495, .311 EQA, 34 2b, 2 3b, 11 HR, AGE: 23

2006 McCann, 457 PA, .329/.388/555, .311 EQA, 31 2b, 0 3b, 21 HR, AGE: 22

2005 Mauer, 550 PA, .294/.372/.411, .286 EQA, 26 2b, 2 3b, 9 HR, AGE: 22

McCann has been just as good this year despite being a year younger. McCann's age 22 year was significantly better than Mauer's age 22 year. To say there is not a debate or it's not close is naive. I'll guess that PECOTA has them very close in 2007, with McCann possibly having a slight edge offensively.
