Personally I can live with an high k rate if the OPS is north of .800 Cited just to illustrate a point. You have a dozen guys on the roster that all strike out less then Riley (and one who Ks a lot more), and none of them are half the hitter that Riley is. Should tell you that K rate in a vacuum maybe doesn't tell you that much about a hitter's productivity. Certainly at high enough K rates, a hitter can't maintain enough BaBIP to be effective, but across a band spanning at least 20-30%, I don't think you need to worry that much about hitters' K rates.
