I understand that on the scouting scale their are five items, but to think that the two most important skills Scoring Runs (Slugging) and Preventing Outs (On-base) are equal to Speed or Defense is really diminishing the advantages that players like Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard, Miguel Cabrera, Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz and other sluggers have displayed over the past couple of decades.

Probably why I changed stat categories for my fantasy league. Power first, onbase skills second and speed least for offense.

I needed a vaction, and then work changed substantially. I'm over 50 hour weeks, plus two hours a day of commuting time. A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
