So John McGraw has 453 plate appearances and has one, count em one, extra base hit! Has anyone ever seen such a lack of power?

Oh I have used him many times and yes for OBP but I've always seen him get a few doubles and triples and i have 66 games to go so we will see.

He's a real unicorn in terms of OBP exclusively. But I seldom use him, because all his other traits are not so good -- defense, stealing, extra base hits like you said. At that salary, I prefer a little more well-rounded guys who don't have as high a OBP but do other things well in a small park. Honus Wagner at around that price (7.68) is a gamer. Not perfect either, but like the doubles and triples.

I use McGraw a lot in high dollar leagues, there is some variation in his numbers but I have had results similar to yours, for example 4 doubles, 1 triple in 728 plate appearance:
