How should a late-season callup show his stuff?

By Tangotiger, 04:27 PM

On one side, you have Dave Cameron who thinks that a hitter with some power should show off that power and quit bunting (even though it’s a hearty 6 for 8 in barely any playing time).  On the other side, you have one of his readers who suggests that he continue bunting until the defense plays more in to respect his bunting prowess, and then he can start taking advantage of that defense with his hitting.

It’s a very interesting thread, with some good comments.
