Our position players already have the 3rd highest BB% in MLB at 9.6%, only HOU (9.7%) & LAD (9.9%) are higher. This doesn't make my comment any less true by the way. If they do both they will be a dangerous offense. I do appreciate the stats. I didn't know they were that high. They walk a lot more this year and are ranked #3 in MLB...yes, they also strikeout a lot (about #25 in baseball). However, last year they ranked similar in strikeout rate among baseball and they were middle of the pack in walk rate. If it was as simple as you say they would be better than last years offense...and obviously that isn’t the case. It just does not work that way. Obviously if they were even better at walking and struck out less they would be better offensively...but you are inferring it would be some dramatic change...which is likely false.
