When I was young living in Indiana I studied the team. Now that I live in Florida I go to spring training games and have a good time.

Anyway, were the Pirates to develop a team high on walks it would be a reversal of history. For decades Pirates scouts looked for contact and ignored walks and power.

I doubt walks are under rated today. However they used to be considered to have a value of zero, hence the extensive use of IBB.
