   I suppose a foul ball machine (like Brett Butler) is pretty valuable,
   but I'd rather watch (and root for) the lower OBP guys who can
   actually hit the ball.

And I'd rather watch (and root for) a team that scores lots of runs
and wins games.

Of course, I'm rooting for the Rockies and Andres anyway.  But that's
for irrational hometown reaons.  I also root for Frank Thomas. :)
