Why are we comparing a pitcher to a 2B?

(I kid.)

Anyway, tough, but I'd go with Collins.

That is the second time I've done that in one of these threads!

I dont think it is even close... Edward collins in a landslide...

Collins had a career.424 OBP compared to Lajoie's .380.
Collins had much more SB than lajoie

The only think lajoie was better than collins in was defense, but it was not significant enough to be a better overall player...
