It’s an interesting comparison.
By WAR, they’re close…with a fraction of one WAR separating them (BBR version).
Doerr had about 1,250 more PA. Both were effectively done by age 33, with Doerr getting an earlier start.
Doerr had a .288/.362/.461 line with a .823 OPS and 115 OPS+
Pedroia had a 299/.365/.439 line with an .805 OPS and 113 OPS+
So, I’d probably give Doerr and edge, but it’s not THAT far off.
