Did I say that was my definition of best hitter or did I say that's who I'd take in the scenario I replied to?

Did I ask "who do you want up in that situation?" or did I ask "who is the better hitter?"
In the exact situation of having a runner on second with two outs in the bottom of the ninth with the score tied, I want the highest batting average possible. But that doesn't make the person with the higher average the better overall hitter.
Anyway, to the OP: if Dunn could add more singles and doubles WITHOUT reducing his home run or walk total, then yes, that would make him elite in the Pujols/etc. category. However, to increase his batting average, he would have to use a different strategy that would lower his SLG. Which is a poor tradeoff.

Over and over again. Dunn needs to change his strategy WITH TWO STRIKES . If he could do this effectively, his slugging would go UP , not down.
