I think what wayback is saying, is strike out ratio is not that important for everyone. The important numbers are OBP, OPS, and Slugging %. How you make an out is not as important as when you make an out. If you are striking out with a runner at third with less than 2 outs, it's a bad thing. But say you are a big slow guy with a runner on first with less than 2 outs. Do you really want someone to just get a bat on the ball? I'll take a strike out in that situation everytime over a double play.

Another situation would be a tie game and you are a guy with HR power, I would rather you swing with your best swing instead of just trying to make contact.
