I think OBP and SLG should be two different categories and OPS should be axed. This way, a guy like Luis Castillo who has no power but gets on base a ton will not be penalized for having an average OPS.

Triples I like. Walks definately need to be in there. 5'10" Brian Giles led the league in them last year, his amazing eye shouldn't be penalized because guys like Adam Dunn and Barry Bonds get walked due to pitchers being scared of them. I'm too lazy to look but if IBB is on there that's definately one you could get rid of.

I agree with getting rid of CG and SHO, and I agree with GIDP (for pitchers, not hitters). If you give up a lot of hits but cancel it out by getting ground ball double plays you should be rewarded for that. Total bases is already covered in other categories, K/9 I could live without but it's better than alot of pitching stats.

GO/AO (ground outs per 1 air out) would be one I'd consider adding
