Am I really suppose to believe that power hitting is the only way to produce offense in baseball now?
Reading Farhan Zaidi's comments, he suggested the only way to improve the team was to increase its ability to hit for power. But what about hitting for average, plate discipline, and speed? When you have speed, not only will you get more hits and score more runs as a result of that speed, you will also keep them off the scoreboard for the other team too.
Not to mention, a fast team that goes 1st to 3rd, steals bases, and can score from 1st on a double, routinely, and covers lots of ground defensively, is fun to watch.
