What a choice! Reminds me of a Stooges episode in which the boys were to be executed and were given the choice of being burned at the stake or having their heads cut off. Curly's infamous reply - "A hot steak is better than a cold chop!" Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck.

A pitcher (Bradley) with 12 hits and 1 walk on his card (1.2 double and .25 triple and .2 HR)
OR
A pitcher (Coombs) with 8 hits and 8 walks on his card (.25 double and .3 triple)

Some of the on base advantage of Bradley is lost because he is an e30 and Coombs is an e3.
And Bradley is a Wild Pitch 12 to Coombs 6.
But Bradley is a -1 hold to Coombs +1

Any reference to the Three Stooges is great! ;)

If the division contained mostly right handed hitters George is the better choice. In a park with 7 for BP singles George gives up an OPS of .255 vs righties versus .289 for Coombs. If it is a HR division the higher OBP for Coombs of .174 vs .122 ill eventually hurt, if a singles league not as much. I would pay the 420K for Bradley assuming 60 percent of batters would be right handed
