Not sure how the narrative will be written with respect to clubhouse culture and front office signals, but 2012-2014 MLB OBP leaders, minimum 1000 PA:

1. Joey Votto - .438
2. Andrew McCutchen - .405
3. Mike Trout - .403
4. Miguel Cabrera - .401
5. Troy Tulowitzki - .399
6. Joe Mauer -.395
7. Jayson Werth - .394
8. Paul Goldschmidt - .386

That is elite company. He's an incredible base runner and was an almost competent outfielder before the end of last year. Throw in 20+ HR pop, even with the injuries, the Nats are slightly ahead on value with Werth. That seemed impossible after that awful first year. Not sure how the last two years will play out, especially with injuries, but I think they'd do the same contract today in retrospect.
