They're both speedy; their baserunning differences are negligible.
Their power differences are not remotely negligible. They're gigantic.
Alf has cleanup power. Yes, his OBP would indicate being a 6th or 7th-hole hitter, but coupled with his great power, I'd say 5th in the order is just about right.

Anyone know?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
