Youkillis is an example of Moneyball because he was an under-valued asset when he was a prospect.

So because I said walks and all that means that I clearly think that Moneyball is all about walking and OBP?

I have never said he wasn't a good prospect but top 5 is very debateable, especially the hands down part. I would agree with Keith Law and say that Snider is in the top 20 right now.
My issue is with guys like McCown (who called him the top prospect in MLB) and Wilner, as well as fans on other sites, who have this guy as a top level contributor next season who look only at the fact that he hit a HR and use that as proof that he is going to be ready sooner than later while ignoring the fact that he has still struggled to hit at the MLB level.
I think he is likely going to be very good, at some point, and think it is crazy that these people are planning on him being a solution to the Jays hitting woes next season.
