I mean hell, we only have personalities like LaRussa and Pujols in the dugout - lets just blame Bulgaria for World War II here. I'm sure our hyper shortstop was the reason the whole team laid down and died last season and not our uptight ****smoke of a manager or anything. Makes perfect sense.

You guys will love him. He's gritty as hell, has some speed, isn't completely incompetent with the bat (rought seasons last year trying to learn McGwire's "teachings" while also dealing with a wrist injury). He's outstanding at shortstop though. He'll have some maddening throwing errors when he kinda loses focus, but his range is virtually unrivaled in the league.

And you could probably get him for someone like Chris Getz, if it even took that much.

I'd flip him for Getz yesterday.
