WTF are you smoking?  Werth has much better batting eye.  Compare their career walk rates.

Werth has a huge advantage in plate discipline AND power.

Compare their career K rates (Werth 29.4%, Crawford 15.1%).

Compare their career SLG (Werth .471, Crawford .440).  Werth has an advantage, not a huge one.

Career BB/K rate is .64 for Crawford, .63 for Werth.  Crawford is the better speed guy, Werth the better HR guy.  WAR numbers are a toss up.  Crawford is 2+ years younger and healthier (6 of 7 years since his rookie season with 600+ PAs compared to 1 year over 500 PAs for Werth).
