But Figgins has never had a .400 OBP (cutting hairs, perhaps).
He's been in the .390's twice.....one sustained by an other-worldy BABIP and the 2nd by 35% more walks than he has had in any other season.
He's basically a .350 OBP guy.  Which is a bunch better than Kouzmanoff.  However Figgins has had 115 X-base hits over the past 4 years.  Kouz has had 208.  You don't need tons of homers...but you do need a bunch of guys who whack 40+ X-Basers, if you want to score some runs.
BTW, Ichiro will get to hit in front of Ackley.....I think he'll LOVE that!
