Sizemore is a career .279 hitter, and only hit .268 last year. And he doesn't have anywhere close to the pop Hamilton has.

Hamilton is arguably a better fielder, shown by his superior range factor last year.

Sizemore gets a lot of hype, and has done for years. Good player, yes. Better than Hamilton? Not a chance.
Since you can't bother to try and read the stats, allow me to for you.

Sizemore has been a 20-20 guy every year he's been a regular. I believe the only player to do that in his many seasons was A-Rod and maybe it was Willie Mays? He has two gold gloves, something that Hamilton may or may not be able to do.

Pop is really up for debate. Sizemore has a great bat, especially for a leadoff hitter, which he isn't. Sizemore is going to have a legit shot at 40-40 sometime soon, something Hamilton could dream of.

Sizemore IS the better overall player, Hamilton is probably the better pure hitter. To throw Granderson in there was hilarious, and saying he's better than Sizemore was a foolish statement.
