Since CB is not the CB of his prime, a better comp would have been the last 3 years at each park, although the Fenway numbers would be a much smaller sample size:
OPS
Year @NY @ BOS
2016 .961 (201 PAs)/.250 (just 8 PAs)
2015 .786 (272 PAs)/ 1.065 (21 PAs)
2014 .772 (238 PAs)/ 1.206 (28 PAs)
These sample sizes prove nothing, but they certainly don't prove CB has been a better hitter in NY than in BOS over the last 3 years.
Now that CB is with HOU, and the cost was probably too high for us, even if it was a good deal, let's move on.
I'm glad he's on the Astros, and the Yanks got MH.
