I don't want to take away an offensive player's walks so that he's below average in that area. But if I would rather have a player get a single than a walk, as this can creates more opportunities. And I'd much prefer that he strike out as opposed to hitting into a double play.

I've had great success with my method, as I'm sure you've had with yours. (Otherwise, neither of us would have bothered posting.) An interesting study, would be to take a league with all teams exactly the same and then have one team follow my philosophy for hitters in ST and another team follow your philosophy. All the rest of the teams would give everybody 5's during ST. My guess is that we'd probably both finish ahead of the other teams that did nothing, but who knows?
