Edgar Martinez at age 26 batted .240/.314/.304 with 17 BBs and 26 Ks, he had 2 Homers in 196 PA.
Justin Smoak is batting .244/.363/.317 with 22 BBs and 31 Ks in 146 PA.
The next year, age 27, Edgar batted .302/.397/.433 with a few more walks than strike outs, which looks awful similar to Smoak's .274/.408/.403 over the past month. People often ask why Edgar didn't get an opportunity sooner in his career and complain that the Hall of Fame doesn't respect his offensive prowess, those same people complain endlessly that Justin Smoak doesn't deserve the opportunity he is getting.
