.355 OBP for the year and a .450 OBP in September, plus very good defense...you bet he deserves a lot of credit. He fit the mold of the lefty OBP 3B very nicely. The irony here is, every year they talk about adding good defense and OBP, and when Craig provides both, all we hear is he lacks power. 3 run HR's win a lot of games, but you do not need that from all 8 spots. He and Jason were a very nice bottom of the order, as they take a lot of pitches, work the count, and get past the pitcher's spot often. The way he worked the walk, after seeing Hart swing and miss at 3 sliders out of the strike zone, was simply beautiful. He's one of the true unsung heroes on this team.
