Who cares? Homeruns are a good thing, why are we trying to discredit them? Encarnacion, Bautista and Donaldson all seemingly go up there and try to hit the ball as hard as possible in the air everytime, and it works out great.
I'd take a walk and a homer over a few "well-placed" singles every day of the week, and I don't see why anyone would prefer different.
