How did those Angels do last year with all those HR's? Oh yeah, couldn't even make the playoffs.

No one said OBP and AVG isnt important, but where is the AVG attribute? or the OBP attribute...did I miss it? I know theres a contact attribute so logically youd use that..no? 1B is a power position so yes HRs are a big deal. And so what if Votto was on PACE for a doubles record..he got hurt and didnt..cant rewrite history or say that anything is for sure...and one player doesnt make a team. Votto got it a lot...A LOT easier with Pujols out of the division and is playing against better teams on a more consistent basis so no need to compare...but if you want to live in the fantasy world that a video game should rate players only on the cherry picked stats for your favorite player thats fine..the rest of us use perspective and allow a little leeway..cause its a video game..that can be edited.
