The average team scored 659 runs in 2014. Ten years ago in 2004, the average team scored 779 runs. So those 6.5 runs explain just 5 percent of the decline in offense over the past 10 years.
2004 was still pretty much in the PED era, so yeah, I'm not surprised they scored a lot more runs back then.

So where do you draw the line? You can only have 4 guys on the infield? What about a late game situation where you know a ball to the outfield will get you beat, so you bring in a 5th infielder? That shift is more situational and not based on the hitter.
