I think average does matter, just not as much as people make it out to be. OBP percentage is now rated as a huge quality, which it should be and "Moneyball" only escilated that. However Vernon defintley makes up for that I beleive in being that 5 tool player that are so hard to come by. Someone that was home grown from day one, and if the Jays were able to re-sign him it would send a huge message to the rest of MLB that the Jays are going to be able to actually keep the stars that emerge from TO.
