Default O/T For Stat Guys Only, I'm sure SABR guys are already looking it up

Agreed that every player should know how to bunt (although one could make a sound argument against trading an out to move a runner from first base to second).

My point is that while knowing how to bunt, hitting behind a runner, etc. are fine complementary skills, if you have a team composed primarily of guys who do "the little things" well but hit .250 with little power, you're going to lose a whole lot more games than you'll win.

Unless you've used the way-back machine and are playing for John McGraw.
