Escobar was better than Hardy in 2012 at the plate and in the field and was worth about an additional win. I made the mistake of thinking a young player had figured it out and found a consistent level at the plate, coming off a season and a half of improvement at the plate.
Escobar has obviously cratered with the bat this season and regressed badly.
Please point out a way in which Johnson is better than Holland OTHER than a counting stat dependent on his team or in walking fewer batters/9.

I woudn't have wasted that many words on him. I think my one sentence post clarified it just fine for him.
