So what do people think of Fred Lewis hitting third?

I myself like Lewis as a leadoff guy – but he’s a lot less implausible in the middle of the order than Winn.

Like him batting either 3rd or 5th in order

We don't need to worry any more

Next year, Schierholtz will hit 30 home runs, a Japanese short stop will magically materialize for us, and we’ll double our home run total with the same lineup for some reason:

Another person who posts here thinks Schierholz has a chance to hit 30 HRs as a MLer – too lazy to look it up myself

Chance maybe I'd say..

In his prime. But not next year and not for a few years. and not probable.

Well now we know

FP is considered one of the greatest outfielders in San Francisco history.

I really wish he’d never become an announcer. I used to like him, before that.

He was one of those borderline obscure guys that would be fun to bring up over drinks and then forget about. Now he’s just annoying and overexposed.

I have a soft spot for the Expos, and for guys who’re aren’t necessarily talented but who are versatile enough to make themselves semi-useful. And for crazy names.
