I just assumed because he's 35 and pitched regularly in the league since 2001. This is his 337th career start. It's one thing to not pitch AT Boston, but it's another thing never to have started against Boston. Hell in MLB The Show it only takes me a couple of seasons and I've gone against every team in the league.
I'm just jealous that myself, or the other millions of people haven't been able to accomplish this. Granted the money, notoriety, rings are good reasons to be jealous of Cashman but this is def another one.
Going into today's game.
Aoki in 221 Games is .289/.359/.415/.774
Nava in 217 Games is .254/.359/.402/.761
Nava is a year younger but has more of a platoon split.
Aoki
vs L .293/.345/.390/.735
vs R .287/.367/.429/.796
Nava
vs. L .209/.308/.333/.641
vs. R .270/.377/.427/.804
I don't know about their defense though.
Edit: Thus far today Aoki is 0-2 with a walk and Nava is 3-4 with 3 singles.
