Player Comparison

Just for fun and just because they are close friends - here's a comparison between super sub and Framingham's own Lou Merloni vs. Super Star Nomar Garciaparra and what they have done so far this year:

Merloni - 151 AB, 20 R, 4 HR, 27 RBI, .299 BA, .810 OPS
Nomar  - 153 AB, 24 R, 5 HR, 21 RBI, .320 BA, .870 OPS

Of course the big difference is salary. Nomar will take home $11.5 million this year while Mayor Lou will just make $560,000 - so I hope if they go out for dinner that Nomar grabs the check.
