Crawford is having the best offensive season of his career at 33 years old. Entering Wednesday, he's batting .286 with 18 home runs and a .909 OPS.
Story, who's 28 and a free agent after this season, is batting just .240 with 12 home runs and a career-low .733 OPS in 87 games. However, even in a down season, he would be an instant game-changer and provide even more power to San Francisco's offense.
