He looks like an NFL center. Not much of a prospect, but an interesting guy. Reading through these comments about Greene's OBP - check out his road stats from last year. If he played anywhere but SD he would already be an All-Star. Petco kills everybody, but it REALLY kills Greene. His road numbers last year were 290/340/510. That, coupled with his defense, is an All-Star shortstop. Also, Gonzalez is just a mop-up guy, so not sure why all the clamoring about him. Not sure that there's a better option out there. Cameron throws hard but has zero control, and last year was helped out greatly by the fact that he only pitched in a close or tied game four times. I wouldn't fret too much about the mop-up guy - they're all fungible pieces.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-169424">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Let’s enjoy Morton while he’s up - he’s gotta be the biggest catcher I’ve ever seen in my life.

Great game... #7: Glad you're enjoying the Annual! Tell everyone you know to buy a copy or three. 8) #141: Meredith was in there presumably because he didn't get any work in the Dodgers series over the weekend. With a day game before a night game, why not let him throw an inning to stay sharp?<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-169339">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Sorry, getting in late here.

I don't know, if I had no clue about the advanced fielding stats, I'd probably figure he was a few runs below average. I could even see an argument that he's decent; average(ish). I just can't see how so many people think he's a gold glove caliber guy.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-169291">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> on Jeter: Right, I’ve watched him all my life (living in NY) and I am certainly no scout, but I’ve never been overly impressed.
