Troy Tulowitzki, 2007

155 G, 609 AB, 104 R, 177 H, 33 2B, 5 3B, 24 HR
99 RBI, 7 SB, 57 BB, 130 K, .291 AVG, .359 OBP, .479 SLG

The difference is that Ramirez has incredible speed. In both 2006 and 2007 Hanley swiped 51 bases, good enough for 3rd in the NL both seasons. This led to Hanley's better 2B and 3B numbers. Tulowitzki's HR total shows more power in his rookie campaign (though Ramirez has improved, hitting 29 HR in 2007). Tulo's better HR power nearly evens out with Hanley's great speed, as both finished their rookie seasons within one point in the SLG column. Both players showed similar plate discipline: AVG totals are within one point, BBs are within one, Ks are within two, and OBP is within six.
Troy also has a better rep as a defensive shortstop. The fielding stats reflect this, depending on how much credence one gives to fielding statistics in the first place.
The only other difference between Tulo and Hanley is in the way they wear their hat. Ramirez wears his tilted to his left, while Tulo wears his tilted to the right.
