The difference between Ruth and Walker in this case is that Ruth's home and road numbers are almost indistinguishable while Walker's lifetime OPS at home is more than 200 points higher than his road OPS. I'd still vote for him though.
Btw, he could help that he ended up in Colorado as it was his decision to sign w/the Rockies a s free agent.
