He might be our best first baseman.

Susan: /sigh….Brian, I keep telling you, that isn’t a television. It is a computer.
Brian: Oh yeah, that’s right. Now how do I change the channel?
Susan: I’ll just print the email and put it on your desk. Also, I have Bow Ti…err…I mean, Mr. Neukom on line 1.

I thought he had been keeping more or less out of trouble since he got there. Odd. (And there’s no way they released him for ‘baseball reasons’, seeing as he had a minor league option yet.)

Aren’t we giving those types of guys 2 years 12 million dollar contracts? Either that or getting ready to DFA them.

You could make a pretty good team out of guys like this. Ron Hunt leaps to mind. Alex Johnson. Can a truly great player be discontent? Seems like outstanding play gets you your way 9 times out of 10. Dick Allen is the only counter example that comes to mind. I know people will think Albert Belle, but he seemed to get along with his teammates pretty well.
