Message: [QUOTE="WhereistheDove?, post: 3211910, member: 1109"] More guys who can't slide or run the bases as opposed to when? Players are bigger now but generally more athletic I'd argue as baseball teams can more objectively evaluate defense. You're much less likely to find a guy like Ryan Klesko stuck out in the outfield these days. And btw, of the 33 players currently with 20 or more HRs this season, one has a batting average below .220 and six are below .250. For comparison, nine are currently hitting higher than .300. You’re overstating where the game has gone as in the last 50 years, the highest season average for MLB was .267 and last year it was .248. [/QUOTE]
