I'm being completely honest. Small ball gets slaughtered over the long run in the Yard. Bundy gave up two hits today Fanned 14! We still would lose 3-2. 

Oh I agree that, to survive in Camden Yards and the AL East, you have to build your offense around power. That doesn't mean you have to abandon OBP - look at the Yankees and Red Sox. They hit home runs AND get on base.

That's because they never swing. And It sure ain't about speed. They are still trying to trade Bradley. And Gardner and Elsbury.
