Here's a specific case, where I've got real enthusiasm for that "3 points of SLG equal 1 point of OBP" school of thought...
Where you've got two middle infielders with 105 OPS+, somehow the guy going .380 OBP seems the far more valuable... Not sure I could articulate exactly why...
Figgins posted the .395 OBP with a mere 110 OPS+ in 2009, and finished 10th in MVP. That was at 3B, no less.
For sure the high OBP is going to give you the high James RC/27. Figgins can create 6, 7 runs a game with an OPS not much above average.
