One great success of the sabermetric approach to baseball, other than the growing division between bad sports journalists and people with brains, is the general public acceptance of the walk as a measurable skill and a valuable asset towards winning games. The general argument is that a walk is as good as a hit in most cases, unless there's a man on second and a place-hit in the alley would drive the runner home, or other minor caveats (like clogging the bases).
