Player A is Yangervis Solarte. Player B is Robinson Cano. Remember when all of Yankeeland was up in arms about Cano leaving town for the Mariners? Me either.

Classic Player A vs. Player B Comparison NYY Style


This was done before yesterday's game so the numbers will be a little different but you get the general gist of it. Player A is one player on the New York Yankees that everyone on twitter, around the Yankees blogosphere, and the sports media considers to be "awesome" and Player B is a player that everyone in the world says "sucks" and is done. Interesting..

Player A:
Year Tm G PA AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS OPS+
2014 NYY 23 103 92 5 23 3 0 0 6 0 0 9 20 .250 .324 .283 .606 71

As you can see the two players are very similar overall. 

Advantages go to Player A in hits, RBI's, and batting average. Awesome
Advantages go to Player B in runs scores, triples, stolen bases, walks, strike outs, OBP, SLG, OPS, and OPS+. Sucks

Player A is Derek Jeter
Player B is Brian Roberts

Let that sink in for a minute Yankees family. I know it's May but if that works for a 40 year old Derek Jeter who is coming off of multiple injuries then it should work for 36 year old Brian Roberts who is coming off of multiple freak injuries. Patience Yankees fans, that's all that I ask.
