Biggest Whiffers

Mark Reynolds became the first player ever to strike out over 200 times (204 to be exact) this year. Not only that, but three of the top four strike out totals all-time are from this year, with Ryan Howard tying his (now second-highest)199 from last year, and Jack Cust right behind with 197. Add in Adam Dunn's 195 and 194 from 2004 and 2006, and the top 6 were all set in the past 5 years (after Bobby Bonds' 189 "reigned supreme" for 34 years starting in 1970). Is this the post-steroid-testing effect on sluggers?
