Not very clear to whom that was addressed, bedir; but I never said things were "equal" [I deliberately selected the word "comparable" which connotes degrees of dissimilarity open to comparison].
My point is that, at levels of elite and near elite batting stardom, the production of total bases at a level approaching or surpassing 300 in a season, will outweigh fewer offset by many walks.
Williams, Ruth, Gehrig, and more recently Bonds, would support that contention ... walking a ton and still putting up multi >300 TB years.
