Part of the game is managing and strategy. IF your team thinks the shift is needed do it. IF the other team role is to react and adjust(ie as Willie Keeler said "hit it where they aint")
the problem as the game evolves the skill set of the modern player is lost (ie many do not know how to bunt, strike outs at at all time highs(now trying to just hit Home Runs), lower averages etc

I completely agree, Jeff. Many of the commenters, though, argued that the "hit it where they ain't" is now too difficult, even for many the best hitters today, due to the velocity uptick in pitching. Another suggestion proposed which I find less objectionable is lowering the mound.
