Batting Average doesn't correlate to anything.

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

You'd need to throw on-base into the equation to get an answer

As well as total power (i.e. slugging as opposed to home runs). Getting to your idea though, generally if there’s that big of a difference in power, the team with more power would score more runs.

Vogt early, Vogt often.

But like you said, you'd need OBP in there too

Because if you had Ichiro and lets say Tony Batista circa. 2002, the team of Ichiro’s would score more runs.

Tools Whore

Sign Bonds!

WOW!!!! I was looking at some other years of Batista.

He hit 26 home runs in 03’ and didn’t even slug .400! That’s amazing to me.

So is Reid Brignac

ZING!

Vogt early, Vogt often.

For someone who values defense so much you sure do underrate Brignac.

Or something like that.

Batting averages are for baseball cards.

Team Ichiro would be better though.
