Counsell's OBP the previous three years: .355, .323., .327 Amezaga's OBP the previous three years: .312, .324, .332 Counsell's OPS+ the previous three years: 75, 65, 70 Amezaga's OPS+ the previous three years: 80, 79, 76 There's pretty close offensively and Amezaga is much younger and more versatile defensively. Plus he's a switch hitter. But since Counsell doesn't cost anything to pick up but signing his option, I bet they'll just stay with him.
