Should I buy again on Steam?

Hi, all...possible stupid question...If I buy the game off Steam, will I be able to access all of the mods available in the Steam Workshop without having to move files around, figure out how to open RAR files, etc.? I'm not very computer literate, Garlon sent me his all-time greats file via email, and its on my hard drive, but I can't seem to get it into my game. Also, I'm really interested in some of the old time ballparks, but this seems to be an issue as well. If I purchase again via Steam, will these mods be "easier" in the sense that I simply download them from the Steam workshop and they appear in my game?

Yes, it will save you the hassle. If that's worth $40 to you, go for it. CAVEAT: I believe, if you choose to subscribe to silvam14's ballpark mods, you may have to perform a manual import of each park, one by one. Not difficult to do, but an extra step. However, if you choose Garlon's ballparks mod, you won't need to do anything else (except, when there's an OOTP patch, to hit the "reinstall" button).
