If Sonnanstine Were More of a Man, He Probably Wouldn't Be a Man

SRQMan informed of this page, which answers the age old question: what does (insert player) come up to? There is "Low" for Willy Aybar, "Walk" for Eric Hinske, "Put On" for Cliff Floyd, and then the big one, "Superstar" for Andrew Sonnanstine. If you've read the site for any length of time you know I am a fan of the 'Tine and Lupe Fiasco so you can imagine that Lupe + Sonnanstine  = happy.

Also Bendix just emailed me this:

Dave (Tampa): Hey Joe, Do you think the Rays front office made a rookie mistake by not picking up a RH power bat at the deadline? Lefties are killing us.

SportsNation Joe Morgan: Definitely, but it's more of a calculated mistake than a risk. It just hasn't worked out. Even picking up another veteran RH presence would help. I think they don't have enough veteran presence--a guy like Cliff Floyd adds some presence, but they need another guy like him.

I agree 100%, we really do need more veteran presence. Don't worry about whether his bat has power or not as long as the player is older than the wood it is made of.

If you don't stop paying attention to Joe Morgan, he'll never go away.

But funny?

If only the Rays had picked up Richie Sexton or Morgan Ensberg, maybe they’d be in first place today.

Correction

If either of those guys grew a beard and then we picked them up.

To this day and dating back 25 years, before every game he plays, Henderson stands completely naked in front of a full length locker room mirror and says, "Ricky’s the best," for several minutes

Remember Nick Green?

He always came out to that Nelly/Tim McGraw song. The song was as great as his ABs.

I predict Ben Zobrist mates with Reid Brignac

to spawn a player equally mediocre at both offense and defense

by Acadien on Sep 10, 2008 2:56 PM EDT reply actions  

I don't trust his feilding for shit,.

As a matter of fact, I don’t trust him at all. He’s just someone I’ll never feel comfortable with, or even like, as a player. I guess I want some of Brignac’s feilding potential to rub off on Zobrist…and a single major league hit to rub off on Brignac.

I liked Benzo in LF when he has played there.

Particularly this field where that kid in the wheel chair from the new Bad News Bears movie could play capably

I like Zobrist

I would rather see him in a game than half a dozen other guys. There is a reason he kept getting called up—every time he did, he would prove himself.

Better than Ruggiano—save that one fucking amazing catch!
