Makes Sam Horn look like a gold glover. All true. I'm so happy to see "Have you seen my baseball?" Youk have a good year. I've been bitching to everyone who'll listen that they needed to put him in the lineup every night, not do that stupid dance between majors and minors all year long. He may look mildly retarded, but that boy is showing up the vets this year, offensively and defensively. He should show Wily Mo a thing or two. > > Loretta, Youk, Big Papi, Nixon are proving to be the only reliable ones > so far. That's too many holes.
