    I disagree with BDD\’s assessment that batting average should go away…a walk isn\’t always as good as a hit…you want to know how often a guy is actually getting a hit. Besides, for historical purposes that\’s what we use to compare prior generations…does anyone know or care that Ted Williams\’ OBP in 1941 was .553 (stunning actually)..nope – just .406 baby.
