So who was better ( Kaline or Clemente) ?

I think it�s more a case of Kaline being under-rated, rather than Clemente being over-rated.

I�d say Kaline was better, but we are splitting hairs. Their defense was similar with Clemente having a better dWAR.

Fun fact: kaline won the Roberto Clemente award in 1973

I think that's probably right, although Bill James makes an interesting case that Clemente was somewhat overrated.
