Another interesting thing to look at is this...the only of the main situational BA's in which ARod outperforms is with no one on base.
Ortiz has a better BA when:
runners are on base
runners are in scoring position
runners are in scoring position with two outs
bases loaded

For ARod, he has been clutch this season. That has been a knock on him the past few years (although not always fairly)...that he hit poorly with men on base. But, his situational stats are still not comparable to Ortiz.

I don't remember him hittting poorly with men on base...seems to me that he struggled as a Ranger with RISP and 2 outs, but I'll have to look that up.
