Just because people such as Voros McCracken overstate their cases doesn't mean that everything they say is meaningless. Batting Average as a primary tool to measure a players value is not that useful, especially with stats such as OPS. I'm not, or just about anyone else saying Batting Average is useless as it can tell you something about a player. The same goes for pitchers giving up hits. Voros overstated a bit but it is true that pitchers giving up hits is a lot less out of their control than previously thought.
