The problem with guys like him is that it's generally easier to hit home runs to your pull side but that's all that Bruce and his ilk are concerned about. The best hitters, the ones that are NOT shifted upon, know how to punch the ball if necessary — sometimes with power, but with the object of getting on base no matter where nine fielders play.
I'm tired of watching strikeout-groundout-or-homer pull hitters. They're all over baseball but they're being weeded out. A better game will result.
