Fielder has also hit significantly better than Morales as well. So take Bautista out of it. His numbers still don't stack up to Cruz, Fielder, or Rodriguez.

If you take away the three Yankee stadium home runs - and 36 total bases do make a big impact in a 200 AB sample size - Alex Rodriguez's SLG drops to .445. Which would make his ISO .177

Kendrys Morales' current ISO is .176.

So yeah, his ISO is getting some Yankee stadium help.

I'm not aruging that Morales is more deserving necessarily. Just that the comparison, adjusted for ballpark, is not crazy.
