I know that I'm very biased, but it's interesting that you give Bonds a C-. He led the league in OBP again this year, regardless of his batting average. He is also very much a threat at the plate toward managers... therefore, his presence in the lineup in fact makes everybody else better. The main reason is because the pitcher's focus on that guy's name that's in the #3/#4 spot. I guarantee you that when most pitchers hear that they're starting against San Francisco that Bengie Molina is not the first name that pops into their head.
