Baseball has fallen the way of the NBA where "analytics" says it makes more sense to go big or go home.  NBA games are 3 point contests and MLB games are HR or K every at bat.  Now not every team even has a .300 hitter anymore.

Adam Dunn was born 20 years too early.

I like analytics if they help tell an accurate story of how someone is doing or what can be determined as a goal.
What I am not supportive of is people changing their style to support better metrics.
I hate the new model of the three outcomes at the plate - HR, walk, or strikeout.

Gimme singles and doubles all day every day over these Adam Dunn type of stats for players.
