Yeah.. I admit to being a baseball stats noob, but JoA's suggestion of bunting 50% of the time doesn't make much sense to me.

Meta-game!

If you always bunt here, you hurt your chances of successfully bunting. If you never bunt here, you hurt your chances of successfully swinging away.

Maybe the percentage should be something like bunting 25% of the time or whatever. How often you bunt is really a sliding scale based on the skill of the 3B and how far in he's playing.

This makes no sense. Are you assuming hitter is average for this?
