Seriously...these stats are completely meaningless.
Albert Pujols' RBI totals decreased every year for his first five seasons. In his fifth season, with his LOWEST career RBI total (at the time), he won the MVP.
His walks INCREASED every year for his first 5 seasons. He also matched or increased his stolen bases each of his first 5 seasons.
His official at bats from his first 5 seasons: 590, 590, 591, 592, 591. He is the only person in MLB history to have more than 2 seasons in which they had between 590-592 ABs: http://www.baseball-reference.com/play- ... areit/Hbvz
An interesting stat about David Ortiz: His HRs increased every year from 1999 to 2006 (8 seasons):
1999 0
2000 10
2001 18
2002 20
2003 31
2004 41
2005 47
2006 54
