Re: Can I get a little help from a National Leaguer?
Exactly. Add power to the lineup, makes you less willing to take risks running the bases, stealing, bunting, etc. And you don't have to worry about the trade-off between power at the plate and, say, speed in the outfield.<br /><br />Interesting that in baseball, the highlight films are full of home runs - essentially a ball in flight and a guy taking a victory lap.
