Baseball question do you guys put more value on OBP or slugging? I value OBP more
My gut reaction is that OBP is probably a more important team stat, and that if you did some kind of a fancy statistical analysis it would probably correlate slightly better with run-scoring and winning, but that once you get to the far end of the bell curve I would rather have a player with a staggeringly high SLG than OBP. E.g., I would rather have Mike Trout than Wade Boggs.

Well Trout is an over .400 OBP guy.
Like for me I dont find much difference in a guy who slugs .500 or .520 but I do think theres a difference between a guy with a .330 OBP and a .350 OBP. If each guy had an OPS of .800 and one of those guys slashed .280/.350/.450 and the other guy slashed .250/.310/.490 I would take player A without hesitation (not considering park factors or defense or position)
