Because, not only do you factor in his bat, but you factor in his glove---especially for a CF/2B/SS, or even a 3B.
I guess what I am getting out, is that while this guy is one I would desperately love to have.....I would even moreso want a top-notch position guy.

I think I always am the opposite. I value top notch pitchers more than position players. Perhaps it is because of my play style, but I usually feel that I can take 13 hitters, and as long as I have 2 or 3 solid hitters, I can figure out how to get the most out of the rest of them.
With a pitcher, I really have had only small bits of success trying a specific type of strategy with specific type of pitchers, but otherwise it seems I am more at OOTP's mercy when it comes to how good the pitchers are.
