The reasoning held in my long-time OBP instead of AVG league is:
If my pitcher walks a hitter, I get directly penalized in WHIP. But if my hitter draws a walk, there is no direct reward.
It does suck for rankings since there are basically no OBP rankings out there, but the difference in rankings is pretty small and it rewards the smarter thinkers in the league for the reason that this Fangraphs article talked about.
