You can't consider that a more important stat than the team winning more games and the pitching staff having a better ERA with Buck in the game.

When they both have less than 10, "almost twice as many" is kinda misleading. Olivo has 4 more.

Olivo does have a better batting average, but his OBP is .291. Buck's is .322.
The only stats in Olivo's favor are thrown-out base runners and the fact he has 4 more HRs and 1 more RBI. Absolutely everything else, including rather important ones like wins and ERA, point to Buck.
If the "stats don't lie", you're backing the wrong horse.
