from an article about Dustin Pedroia

It's from ESPN Boston which ew so I will not link, but here you go:

It gets even better. Run Pedroia’s numbers against 25-year-olds regardless of position, and you’ll generate a list of some of the best players in the game: Hanley Ramirez, Miguel Cabrera, David Wright, Albert Pujols, Vladimir Guerrero and Derek Jeter.

Um, through age 25 seasons:
Hanley Ramirez 138 OPS+ (best year: 148 OPS+)
Miguel Cabrera 140 OPS+ (best year: 159 OPS+)
David Wright 139 OPS+ (best year: 149 OPS+)
Albert Pujols 167 OPS+ (best year: 187 OPS+. Just for fun, worst year: 151 OPS+.)
Vladimir Guerrero 146 OPS+ (best year: 162 OPS+)
Derek Jeter 121 OPS+ (best year: 153 OPS+)

Dustin Pedroia 111 OPS+ (best year: 122 OPS+)

Other than maaaaybe Jeter, WTF kind of numbers are you using there?!?!
