Offensively in the pro game power rules the day. It’s expensive to acquire & hard to scout & develop.Those types of players account for a high % of total salary & often get traded.When is there going to be a shift from a median budget & below team to a different model? The less
impactful high on base % speed & defensive players are value buys(Relative) in today’s game.Their defensive capabilities enhance your pitching. The speed player with low swing & miss,low chase & high hard contact presents a challenge to all pitchers & defenses. It brings a more
aggressive style of play back into the game where you are forcing defenses to play faster with more proficiency.Think of Whitey Herzog’s KC teams. Teams w/broad based athleticism & diverse offensive skills. Fun to watch. Fun to coach & more consistent & harder to play against.
