Brock Holt vs Lou Merloni - career batting stats are almost identical

I happen to be researching some numbers on Brock Holt as the Red Sox starting left fielder for opening day and stumbled upon, what I thought was an interesting tidbit. Hopefully you do, too.

Brock Holt and WEEI's Lou Merloni's career batting stats are eerily similar.

Take a look. Holt slight edge in BA, Merloni takes the HR, RBI and OPS title.
