Talk:How Much Longer for Wilkerson?/@comment-101836-20060410210302

I think you&quot;re forgetting about Michael Young, too. Last year his OBP was .385. And yes, our strategies do differ. I think a high OBP is very important, but you can&quot;t have your leadoff hitter striking out that much, especially in a league with a DH. A high OBP is great and everything, but I don&quot;t want a leadoff hitter that is guaranteed to strike out more than 140 times in a season. To me, that indicates streakiness. I&quot;d rather have a leadoff hitter with a slightly lower OBP that can give me fewer Ks and greater consistency.
