<p>1) As far as the site being buggy today … guess that makes it open season on the Shout Box … not that it isn't usually. 2) the Keith Law rip on Zduriencik is an interesting one; he makes the very simple accusation that Jack Zduriencik does not value offensive OBP as much as do, say, the #Texas Rangers. Every sabermetrician alive, including those in Zduriencik's employ, has heard that a marginal point of OBP is worth 3x as much as a marginal point of SLG. Zduriencik, I had thought, values *talent,*, giftedness in the batter's box, more than sabermetric formulas (relative to some other GM's). Law's idea is annoyingly condescending but, sometimes, simple ideas are worth pondering. Had Zduriencik been told 7 years ago "Psssst. Go for OBP." would that have made a difference?</p>
