I think these things are created by agents to justify getting a below average player decent money. I don't think you can copy and paste stats when switching leagues. A NL pitcher throws to 8 legit hitters while an AL pitcher throws to 9 and the guy batting in his spot is often one of the best hitters on the team as long as they are not managed by Renteria. I do think there is some caution when our eyes look at paper and not look what goes on in the field.
