dozier's OBP has been horse**** basically up until last season (and even .340 isn't exactly setting the world on fire considering a near .300 ISO) so 1 point pollock (edit: dozier's ISO was higher than his batting average last year. that is not easy to pull off)
42 homers and still only 104 runs. offense behind him is a lot worse than the offense behind pollock. roll back the OBP and the homers and the runs will drop as well considering i have little faith in the offense behind him. 2 points pollock who will have a strong OBP and a stronger order behind him
rbi is probably a wash (again, unless you assume dozier hits 40+). still 2 points pollock
steals. not close. 3 points pollock
homers. dozier. 3-1 pollock
