OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - How useful or useless is the Gap rating??

Both posts were helpful, but it only helps explain the correlation with high contact and gap or high power and gap. What about my Guy A and Guy B above, where gap is some sort of an outlier? Does Guy A with average at best contact and power have a "more productive" 100 hits per year than the 140 hits I'll get from Guy B?

Also, how much of this is related to speed? Meaning - a faster baserunner can leg out doubles and triples with a higher frequency. Sticking with my examples: Guy A's speed is 75 and Guy B's speed is 16.
