In short, since 2005, various teams have collectively paid him a decent seven-figure sum to lose around ten more games for them than (and I think I'm correct in saying this) if they'd just played me at SS.

No offense, but I don't think you're the statistical baseline for replacement level. Do they even have baseball in Austria?

They call it Rounders, and it's a sort of pastry filled with fish.

Baez has struck out 6 times in 3 games, one more than Brett Jackson.

Chuck, he's all yours.

He homered as a pinch-hitter yesterday.

Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Remember when Jackson was blowing future sunshine right up everybody's buttspot?

That's weird, you'd think Jim would have made draft picks after the first round.

He let Todd Ricketts make the rest of the picks.

His ankle exploded and he died. He's on the DL.

What?

Ankle sprain. 7-Day DL.

Jesus, Slak.

He's dead.

QuoteJavier Baez, the most polarizing, most discussed, and most hyped prospect in the Chicago Cubs' farm system, is at the center of attention again.

Unless "polarizing" can also mean "completely turgid pole-inducing," I have no idea what they're going on about there.
