Interesting article about why players won't beat the shift.  These guys just don't think singles are as valuable.  Of course with Billy it's just the opposite.  His singles can become power hits.

Couple weeks ago I heard the announcers talking about that and how the hitters just become more determined to beat it ! And also how strike outs have become a badge of honor ? Makes no sense at all !

If I walked up to the plate and one side of the infield was basically vacant I'd do my best to put a single right thru the open space and not even think twice.
