This thread title made me recall something I'd been thinking - does SLG on BIP work out the same as BA on BIP? [Edit - Ah, I see just this issue mention in that current mile-long thread on DIPS. I'll go check that out now.]

This has not bugged me, as these days with the charts team OFs are played the best way they think they can get individual batters out. Besides cases where a Sac Fly beats you, the only time I can think of where the OF defense should not necessarily automatically (as directed by coaches) set up optimally for the batter would be in late innings playing deep to cut off an extra base hit.
