Clementes typical season is .317 with 94 runs 200 hits 29 2bs 16 HRs 87 Rbis .359 OBP and .475 slg.

Obviously the eras are different but mitigated by Cabrera playing in poor hitting parks his entire career. And this is also without cabrera reaching his prime late 20's hitting peak. If you took the first 6 years of each player it is embarrasing. Surely Clemente was a better fielder but cabrera is a better hitter.
Moments like this lead me to believe glasses are in order........lol. Look who I thought you were referring to.

Thus my response of horror.....Melky and Orlando are a bit different animals I needed to laugh this afternoon as some of what I have seen today is beyond repulsive.
