I think the experiment in having lots of league average players isn't working. Sure over a season you can rack up enough wins, but when you hit the playoffs you are facing the best of the best and then you're exposed. Just like the A's teams with the super high OBP. Sure they would score a lot of runs, but at some point you face pitching and defense that requires you to get some hits, not just make out only 63% of the time.
