That statement, to me, is more asinine than when people put a lot of stock in Wins when evaluating pitchers.

I'm guessing you thought Derrick Jeter was a legitimate Gold Glover

The Expos show on MLB Network is great.

that is a pretty asinine statement. How many times have we all seen a routine ball booted, lead to a big inning.
AND, to flip it on the analytical crowd. They put so much stock into walks, and guys getting on base, and how a guy getting on base is so important. But now dismiss a defensive player who allows players to reach base by committing errors?

Andrelton Simmons or Eric Aybar and Sean Newcomb?

Mattingly instituted a "no-facial-hair" policy for the Marlins this season. It's pretty silly, especially considering Donnie Baseball was himself kind of a dick about the Yankees' same policy back in the day. Months after being named captain, he refused to cut his hair, got benched, and demanded to be traded. He talked to the press about it in no uncertain terms, too. Things were sure different back then.

Panda sucked last year, but in his defense, that picture was taken mid throw.

Does being mid throw make your huge gut bigger somehow?

So is it not like other sports I follow? In baseball it's okay to be pre diabetic? It's a semi serious question.

Well the greatest player of all time was a fat bastard, so, yeah.
