Plate discipline.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah, I guess guys like Alfonso Soriano, Vladimir Guerrero, Andre Dawson, et al. couldn't overcome their lack of plate discipline.
There is no such thing as one characteristic that trumps all in baseball. Is plate discipline a good measure of a player? Many times it is. But it doesn't matter how many times you say it trumps everything else, that will never make it true.

The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.
