For the .330 hitter, the SLG is .500, and the .300 hitter the SLG is .470.

I'd probably go for B in real life, and A in fantasy.

.360 OBP doesn't score as much as a .390 OBP.

Player A.

Hanley Ramirez doesn't make errors--the ball is just afraid of him.
Shadez was the first man to walk on the moon... with sunglasses on.
In rookie ball, he drove a ball to deep centerfield, only to be informed he had been traded on his way to first base. So, he sprinted to the wall and robbed himself of a homerun.
He can turn a man to stone just by looking at him without his shades.
Was pointed at when Babe Ruth supposedly called his shot.
The June 24th game between the Marlins and Yankees was not, in fact, called by rain as was previously reported. Hanley had plans. And by plans we mean a date. With a girl. A babe if you will.

I would expect Player B to be 1.8% more productive.

YMMV *shades*

Except for that 1.8% thing that I mentioned.

Rockshu nailed it: in fantasy, take the guy with BA and SLG. In real life, or in a sim league, high OBP gets you two things:

1) Runners on base and

2) Fewer outs used.

That "fewer outs used" is what drives the productivity. It's hidden, though: the productivity is realized by other players getting more plate appearances, so it shows in their counting stats. Still, if you take away the high-OBP guys, free-swinging sluggers suddenly get too few at bats and their counting stats drop.

OBP-BA is a good way to judge the consistency of a hitter from year to year. Guys who have a low OBP-BA may have some very impressive looking years when they hit, for example, .330, but if that player only hits .280 the next season (still respectable), they're OBP drops to a terrible .310. You don't want a player whose OBP is based upon their average, you want a player whose OBP is based upon their ability to get on base through other means.

No, because he asked what TYPE of hitter would you take.
