I realize if the guys loaded elsewhere, say with power hitting and good fielding attributes, he would be awesome. What i mean is if he's got a Great Hitter designation but no power, and mediocre fielding skills? Maybe he has some speed. I see players like that occasionally, but i also notice that the "Great Hitter" designation is pretty rare, at least in my experience. I guess i'm wondering as to their general value? Thank you. | ||

Even without those great hitting is something to covet, because putting the bat on the ball as often is possible is the crux of offence. If you can add speed to it you can fill out the top of your lineup with guys who can get on base and run, which will get you runs even if you lack power hitters (smallball). |
