Is this even a question? Freehan had a 145-100 OPS+ advantage, and was runner-up for MVP. Parrish had a decent season. Might be closer to compare Parrish's 1982 season.

What Willshad is trying to say is that Freehan put up his numbers in a season where offense was historically low. As such they were much closer to the top of the league than Parrish's.
