If we adjust Ba's appearances in the league to match Torres', he scores roughly 5 goals to Torres' 8. On the other hand, he also had 4 cup goals to Torres' 3, taking them up to 9 and 11 respectively.
Ba was probably worse than Torres, but Mike. is overblowing it slightly. That said, neither were even good domestically last year.
EDIT: This is, of course, only taking into account Chelsea stats, since Ba got 14 in 20 for Newcastle last year too in the league. Considering Ba had to settle in to a new team, I'd call them about even really.
