You'll get no arguments from me. In 2014 while watching the Royals, I thought... "Damn, this feels a lot like watching the 2000s Twins. I miss that kind of baseball and I think it can succeed." Well, it succeeded. While I think a team can be built on power bats and strikeouts and succeed, give me a contact-happy team with moderate power and good defense any day of the week. It's just my opinion but I think that team is less prone to slumps like the one we're seeing now (where the Twins basically played their opponent straight-up four games in a row but lost every game because if you swing and miss a lot, chances are you'll have streaks where you swing and miss a lot while runners stand on base).
