Reply to "The head of the nail has been hit"

I'd much rather watch a College Super Regional or World Series than MLB, but unfortunately those two events only last a month.  MLB is what it is.  The biggest problem I see is that there are just too many guys that are hitters....not batters.  By that I mean, they are all after the almighty HR.   Watch Moneyball....then watch it again.  How many guys do you know now that would get picked up because "they get on base".  There just aren't that many.  Proof is the fact that guys just absolutely WON'T use any means necessary to beat the stupid shift.  I mean...it's not hard.  Heck, a guy got a double just by putting a bunt down the 3B line.   Every time I see a guy hit a ground ball to the second baseman playing in shallow right because of the shift....I just laugh.  I'm not sure how managers don't just go ballistic when a guy refuses (or can't) go the other way to beat a shift....he'll just continue to hit into it as his average drops and drops.
