wOBA and BaseRuns
This article does a good job in showing that linear methods (like wOBA and its inspiration of Linear Weights) can't be used for Teams. wOBA-squared does a much better job.
In any case, the answer is BaseRuns. For teams (and pitchers) use BaseRuns. For hitters, use wOBA. For hitters in a particular environment, use the "Theoretical Team" construction and a "with or without you" process (google Patriot and that term, and you'll get what you need).?
