I would recommend reading Moneyball by Michael Lewis. Good, fun read and that explains some of the inefficiencies of baseball through Billy Beane's A's. Trust me, I did not come these conclusions on my own, but they seem to make sense.
ETA: FWIW, I was fricking clutch when I played baseball regardless of the situation.

I have read the book but a guy like Bautista is getting paid to drive runs in so for you to say it is overrated in his case is wrong...
have you ever head the saying nobody walks off the island?

I also think you are missing the main theme of moneyball which is finding qualities and traits that a player has that are undervalued by other teams. the reason for this is to get an advantage as a small market team. during the time that the strategy started OBP was actually a stat that was often overlooked. If you want me to go on why it does work during the regular season but rarely works in the postseason just let me know.
