I agree. Walks are valuable today even though it's a boring stat. Joey Votto has 2,153 hits but he's also got 1,365 walks.
Betts might have an outside shot at getting there. He's a little over halfway there now and 31 years old, but lost a full season to the pandemic. He's seems dynamic enough that he at least has a shot to play another 9 or 10 seasons.
