Ummmmmm, yeah.

Pujols is a great hitter because he puts the ball in play. You can't be a great hitter if you swing and don't make contact with the ball. When Pujols swings, there's a pretty good chance that he's going to try to hit the pitch. If he swings and misses, he just has to wait until the next pitch like everybody else, but even when he misses the pitcher knows without a doubt that Pujols just took a swing at it." -Joe Morgan, Baseball Genius

Stunning articulation on the complexities of hitting there.
