There as different as hitters can be, but they're roughly the same value.

Both their teams are missing the playoffs, so the answer is obviously neither.

Same value at the plate?
Or are you factoring in speed and defense?

Remember Jack, Ichiro's speed allows him to stretch out extra bases and hits Adam Dunn can't (and I believe that shows up on EQA). Dunn's the better hitter, though Ichiro playing RF with his speed clearly makes him the better overall player.

This evens out by the fact that Dunn's singles and doubles typically advance runners further.

Good point.

Ah well, who the hell cares if Ichiro's a better hitter or not, he's easily the better player. :P

Speed and defense makes up for 100 points of slugging?

I'm factoring in stolen bases. 44/46 on SBs really makes up a lot of ground. Throw in park factors and you've got similar-value hitters.

If he walked less and struck out less he'd get more hits and be a better hitter.

What's the deal with this guy? Is he joking, or...?
