Exactly. Sure, I would prefer a guy like Drew (if $ were equal), who has the .380 OBP and potential to hit for power, but if he doesn't get his power back and Baldelli never develops more than a below average batting eye, I think Baldelli will be the better player. So you're saying (assuming $ equal, which it isn't) Drew with a .380/.420/.800 OPS would be worse than Baldelli with a .330/.470/.800? Or are you saying Baldelli, even with a below average OBP (in the .320-.330 range) will have enough power that it will outweigh the 50-60 point advantage in OBP? If the former, I respectfully disagree. When comparing the players, it is bad. What I'm saying is that obp is better than slg, but there really aren't many obp studs to be had. Thusly, if you can't get an obp stud producer, you shouldn't turn down the opportunity to get a stud producer who relies on slg instead. Yes Drew is probably a better option, but if you can't get him, Baldelli is still good.
