Ah yes this coming from someone who taints every argument with bias and fan wanking instead of rationale despite whatever evidence may say to the contrary. Even in your most recent post you continue to make assumptions about players which are not even based on any evidence or facts but just blind optimism. And any opinion which isn't undeservingly optimistic and in agreement is met with some sort of attack. Which I've noticed you do quite often. Hmm. It would seem like you meet the criteria of the unintelligent fan. “your hatred of All Things Cashman is intellectually dishonest and willfully pessimistic and ignorant.”

I don't think his offense has any special impact as a first baseman or DH.

Jorge is so important to this team, and it really makes you think how much we'll miss Mo when he's gone...now THAT will suck.
