So is your argument he was a better hitter in a smaller sample size or across his career? You use counting stats when its in his favor, but any counting stat he losses you bring up AB's.

His ops was .808 he was still very productive
And you are just adding the stats to the back end. At 29 and 30 he had under 300 total Pa. probably another 1000 in his prime he missed.
