Feliz Navidad!

Alon — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 21:25:10 -0000

[editor's note, by dajafi] Promoted from the diaries, mostly so I don't have to write anything more about this travesty of a mockery of a sham. Don't expect this to end other than in a blazing firestorm of shitty at-bats and a plethora of outs.

3b Pedro Feliz (he of the .288 career OBP) will provide some much-needed discipline on the right side of the infield.

Kevin Kolb Lovefest

Stop reading now if you think a lovefest for a player who has yet to play a regular season minute is premature.

This just in!

Darwin Walker to Bears

I guess that means we don't have to release him. He was sent to the Bears for a 5th round draft choice, so the Bills end up with a 5th instead of a 6th, making the best of a (really) bad situation.

Why Pat Burrell Is As Good as Soriano and Lee

[Editor's note - bumped from the Diaries.]

Recently I've been hearing a bit (read, a ton) of straight up hatred geared towards our LF, Pat Burrell. Being a statistically-minded fella, I've done my best to persuade these people that Burrell is not only not bad, but is (gasp) actually pretty darn good.

You've all heard the argument. He's got a hell of an ass. And OBP. What?

But in all seriousness, compare and contrast.
