All anyone really needs in life is JD's endorsement... However, you can also look to this nice article on Faggraphs.

On top of him actually being good at baseball, he's a likeable player.

I find him likeable because he's good at baseball.

I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

His hustle brings the meathead out of me... I SEE HIM ON TOP PLAYS ON SPORTSCENTER A LOT.

It's probably because he's slow compared to most OF's so he has to hustle his ass off to balls that others can get to easily, but hey, he's got no issue letting his fat flail!

I like him because he's black enough to be hip, but still white enough to be someone who would hang out with my buddies.

Do you think the nickname "Milk Duds" would stick? I was quite impressed by seeing his buttocks from section 222.

There's an ESPN Zone at Disneyland. It was the "high"light of my two days there.

Having spent a little time there myself I will agree with your assessment.
