Quoting Hunter

Nick Nelson isn't happy with what Torii Hunter is saying as he leaves the Twins. Or maybe Torii is just confusing:

"Some people think that in three years, I'll be older ... but I feel like I can play left or right, and still be the best left fielder and right fielder in the game," he said.

Okay, who are the people who think Torii won't be older in three years? Please raise your hands. Actually, the quote probably would be less silly if we knew what the ellipse contained.

"Some people think that in three years, I'll be older [THAN MY ASTRONAUT IDENTICAL TWIN, WHO WILL BE TRAVELING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT] but I feel like I can play left or right, and still be the best left fielder and right fielder in the game."

Amusing Brick.

Of course the statement makes sense, at least in general, because the spoken or implied clause is:

"Some people think that in three years, I'll be older [and thus of diminished skills and thus not worth a multi-year contract] but I feel like I can play left or right, and still be the best left fielder and right fielder in the game. [And thus I am worth it.]"

"the best left fielder and right fielder in the game"

This means the Angels can raise ticket prices. I'd certainly pay extra to see Torii play left field and right field at the same time!
