Another Quote of the Day

Geoff Young on Joey Gathright:

I've got nothing against Joey Gathright; it's just that, well, he adds no value to a baseball team. He'll be 28 in April and his career line is .263/.328/.304 in nearly 1300 big-league plate appearances. That's a 68 OPS+. That's Juan Pierre without the batting average or power.

Baserunning and defense are no longer part of baseball.

Jeff at Lookoutlanding.com made a pretty good case that he'll be just as valuable as Raul Ibanez. Here:

Definitely helpful if you have a fight - other than that not so much

Who the hell is Geoff Young and why does he feel the need to talk about Gathright? I know Young's not on the Cubs, so what does he care about what kind of player Gathright is? And the difference to Juan Pierre is a big one... Gathright is not going to be the starting CF, just a backup. Shutup Geoff or whatever your name is,

sorry bout that. Just wanted to add that whenever I see someone spell their name like that I think of that stupid Giraffe from Toys R Us.

Why the need to tell someone to "Shutup" then think you have good reason to because you don't like how he spells his name? With logic like that you're not being very persuasive while Geoff has a good argument _and_ a good track record.

Well, Chone Figgins had *really* better shut up.

Maybe I'm wrong-- but most people don't choose the spelling of their names- that decision is often made before they're even born...
