Nick Johnson would definitely qualify as he has an excellent 426 OBP.

There is no coincidence the Top 6(Yankees,Red Sox,Angels, Dodgers,Twins,Rockies) teams in OBP were all in the playoffs this year.

- So you rather overpay for some free agent like Beltre to make you feel better? - glass half empty 2009-12-04 23:14:48 (197 views)
  - and the other thing about Molina is that lack of speed is so god-awful - one flap down 2009-12-05 10:14:01 (118 views)
  - Unfortunately, they need both. Id take the pop first, otherwise it doesnt matter how much they get - Psyched 2009-12-05 06:14:45 (162 views)

    - Beltre will probably get more $ and more years than Nick Johnson - heathramos 2009-12-05 08:38:54 (98 views)
      - I dont think so. He only had 8hr in 450abs last year, only 25 the year before. I think baseball has - Psyched 2009-12-05 09:37:52 (136 views)
        
        Beltre at 2yr/$16M would be a move made by the old Sabean - Hawk_941 2009-12-05 10:35:35 (117 views)
        
        Well, im thinking NJ will get around 6per. Id pay an extra mil or two per year (short term) to get - Psyched 2009-12-05 11:08:59 (118 views)
        
        He's just a huge risk at that price after the season he just had - Hawk_941 2009-12-05 11:29:59 (81 views)
        
        If you believe defensive metrics, he was still worth >8mil, even with the poor season - microwave donut 2009-12-07 10:21:33 (62 views)
        
        He wasn't even the best defensive catcher on the Giants last season. - Hawk_941 2009-12-07 13:29:42 (96 views)
        
        I meant Beltre - microwave donut 2009-12-07 13:41:57 (60 views)
        
        haha. was reading too many threads at once. - Hawk_941 2009-12-07 16:02:45 (79 views)
        
        For the amount Boras is asking for, they're better off passing on him - glass half empty 2009-12-05 11:46:51 (60 views)
