I don't know if he really does handle the youngsters right, I only can go by what I read really, but those are HIS quotes and if it was a one and done type of throwaway quote fine, but he constantly hammers at how overrated walks are and OBP. I mean look, I'm not a major league manager and never will be, but even I know that to score runs, you have to...well....GET ON BASE!!! (emphasis is for the real Dusty, not you! ) Adam Dunn is as good as he is BECAUSE he walks 100 times a year. Take that away from him and he's Dave Kingman a power hitter with a 240 avg.
