Is anything more than 100 considered high-K?
Figgins for his career strikes out once every 5.8 ABs.  Edgar Martinez struck out every 6.0, and he wasn't exactly Adam Dunn at the plate.  I get that he wasn't a leadoff hitter, but he was an on-base machine.  There are actually very few hitters who have high walks (making them on-base marvels) with really low Ks.  Albert Pujols is one, but I wouldn't compare Chone to him.
Sure, Figgins is not Dustin Pedroia (11.7) or Ichiro (10.0), but they're different hitters.  They only walk 50 times a year too (though pedroia's game seems to be changing.  Ichiro's is timeless).
Chone takes his 65, 70 walks a year instead of 50 and strikes out a hundred times instead of 75.  I dunno that I would consider that form of tradeoff to be outside the norm.  A few more walks for a few more Ks isn't really any streakier than relying on BABIP to make sure all your hits fall in instead of finding gloves. 
Not everybody can BABIP .350 like Ichiro, and when the bad luck hits then the guys who won't take a walk to get on base are toast. 
I did have concerns about mental toughness coming into this season, though, and the really tough start to the season where we're just grinding out at-bats has turned me around on it a little bit.  Except for Wilson - I cannot believe he took himself out of that game, and it's something that would get him off my team STAT.
Of course, Chone's little displays during last year would do the same.  I'd have dumped him for a bucket of balls in the offseason, and that didn't happen.  Just hoping he gets hot and stays that way for a couple months so we can ditch him for two buckets of balls at the deadline and call it good.
Bradley has started well, so maybe he can keep his screws in place for most of the season.  Cust has been pretty abysmal, but it's early; it's not like it's the first time he's struggled or had to overcome.  Olivo is what we've got - I don't know that I'd consider him mentally weak so much as a limited bat.  I think he's overcome his mental weakness with his success in KC and CO. 
Wilson and Figgins need to go.  The former is far easier to accomplish than the latter, but right now most of the lineup has its nose to the grindstone and is trying as hard as they know how not to give away too many at-bats.  If they can stop screwing up in the field and a few hits drop in we might not be terrible.
Control those mental lapses, ditch the quitters, and see if we can get a diamond-hard core of tough players to put talent around. And glue Bradley's screws in tight - we can't afford for him to swan-dive back into insanity right now.
