>>438731 I would argue no, Bay is better. THIS YEAR, though, they were, IMO, about the same.
However, if you actually read the link, you'll see that there's a "floor" for players in the AL, essentially their defense can only reach a certain level of bad before the original methodologist decides to not penalize them for their manager not putting them at DH.
Essentially, Manny was even worse than his defense in the AL shows, and Bay doesn't get the same advantage because of more time spent in the NL. Neither I nor the OP agrees with this, but it's where the numbers come from and it gives Manny an advantage.
Then, of course, Bay was just learning Fenway, I think that makes a little difference.
