strikeouts are overrated as a negative stat.
rather a strikeout than a weakly hit doubleplay grounder.
rather a minimum 3 pitch at bat than a first pitch flyout.
Bad yes, but its a mistake to always consider a strikeout an uproductive at bat. Work the pitch count.
Especially if they have a high slugg%, ie Adam dunn. I'd take his strikeouts in a heartbeat for his power.
