I like the BABIP rating in helping to find the high average guys though it should be used with respect to other ratings to get a more complete picture. I'm always amazed at the consistency and quality of numbers Willie Keeler puts up for example and would rather have him than some of the power hitting guys that hit for a much lower average than expected (TWilliams). With so many concentrating on pitcher movement, it seems the power guys get penalized. Though I don't know, I would think their HRs are ending up as outs rather than singles/doubles.
