Is Andy Laroche better than Jason Bay?

I was browsing MLBTradeRumors when I came across a post linked to FanGraphs.  FanGraphs values Andy Laroche more than Jason Bay ($7.2 million to $5.5 million).  I'm guessing that Bay's defense really hurts him here.  Bay, while putting up an OPS of .872, had a UZR/150 of -15.8. He has a WAR of 1.2.  Andy, on the other hand, has an OPS of .707 but has a UZR/150 of 4.8.  His WAR is 1.6. 

I'm not taking sides on whether or not the Bay trade was a good one or not but it is interesting to see that Andy is outperforming Bay by himself...according to FanGraphs anyway.
