So you discount BA when I used it at one point, then use it yourself to try and discredit another one of my other arguments. Which is it?

Also, his BABIP was .240. That's why his BA was .230 last year. When his BABIP normalizes over a full season, you're looking at a .280, maybe even .300 hitter. So again, that's more hits and walks over a full season than Uribe, with the same number of HR.

I will admit that I am not factoring in defense when comparing these two players. My focus on player analysis tends to be strictly from a fantasy baseball perspective. If someone can show that D makes Uribe a better option than Richar, I'll concede that moving Uribe to 2B ahead of Richar is the better option. And I have now officialy spent more time analyzing Danny Richar than I ever intended.
