Ok -- are you trying to tell me homeruns, the best thing that a hitter can do in a given AB, are bad? I'll take homers wherever they come in the lineup, and it's even better when you can get them from a guy who also has a .348 OBP.
Ok, so now it's if both were on the same team... Flip, flop, flip, flop.

I really hate this line of thinking.
Do you honestly believe that every batter should go up to the plate trying to hit a home run because it's "the best thing that a hitter can do in a given AB?"
