I'd also want to know the BABIP for A/B. Player A has a massive K rate especially compared to player B. Can player A sustain the 264 BA? If not, and he isn't going to improve, then player B is better. Player A has more ISO as well so if he can sustain the 260 BA he's definitely the better option.
There isn't enough evidence here to say whether A/B is better, IMO. I'd also want to know how they did vs RHP - if one guy is clearly better vs RHP, I'd use him and platoon that guy.
