I don't agree.  Navarro has the potential to be the exact same player.

Here are their stats:

Navarro --

176 AB, .273, .354, 21 R, 3 HR, 14 RBI, 21 K

Loduca --

445 AB, .283, .334, 45 R, 6 HR, 57 RBI, 31 K, 4 SB, 3 CS

Navarro didn't try to steal a base... with the 3 CS out of 7, Loduca probably shouldn't have tried.

Give Navarro the same number of at-bats with the new lineup, and I'm betting that Navarro will get the edge.

Remember: Loduca had guys to bring home.  Navarro was playing with a bunch of AAA'ers.  Not any longer...
