Comic relief?

We traded Alberto Alburquerque for him.
Couldn't we have traded a guy with a less cool name?

I actually prefer Freel, but this Baker guy at least has some pop in his bat. He still sucks though.
Cubs acquire Jeff Baker - vitaminB - 07-02-2009
So we got a guy who is Right Handed, doesn't hit for power, doesn't have any speed, is struggling this year, and is coming off an injury. What's not to love? Great signing, Jim.

He has an away .601 OPS, and a 58 OPS+. That, my friend, is sub-Neifi territory.

He definitely blows. I was just saying he has a little pop because he hit 12 hr in 299 AB last year. Probably doesn't matter though because not only does he suck, but he's battling injuries.

Well, in the end, this isn't going to help or hurt the team. It's one of those things where I just don't understand why Hendry bothered.
