I'm settled, but I disagree.

Salty has a higher SLG thanks to 5 more HRs. They have similar averages, but Wieters walks more (and strikes out less) to give him a noticeable edge in OBP. And despite Salty having a similar edge in OPS, their OPS+ is almost even.
Salty has hit into fewer double plays, something Wieters does too often.
But I think Wieters is being used too much. He's already caught 70+ games. He has over 100 innings more than Salty, almost 100 more than McCann. So that helps his accumulation numbers (runs, rbis, etc.) and has me a bit concerned about him holding up through the rest of the season.
Admittedly I haven't seen him much but I very much doubt that Salty is better defensively.
