Just saying that 6 years you think someone would mention to Alex or Alex himself would have thought and yet he still doesn't bunt..gotta be a reason. A lot of small contact fast guys can't bunt..

He tried it in a game earlier this year....maybe if he stuck with it he could actually improve. Managers and players alike don't always do what is optimal or best as we well know with Brad being here...
