I don't think anyone is saying he's Albert Pujols.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yea, that's made up. Of course, compared to Andres Blanco, Jake Fox is Albert Pujols.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Right, because I'm the only guy on the board who uses hyperbole.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Of course not, but that hyperbole doesn't make sense unless you're saying that people should stop saying that we have a better offensive option on the bench than what we are putting on the field...which also doesn't make sense, as we do have a better offensive option on the bench.
Also, on the DP...yes, it should have been turned, but it wasn't routine. It took an off hop off the lip. I say give him a chance and let's see if he can be serviceable over there. It's not like ARam was a gem at the position when we plugged him in.

I'm not denying he struggles over there. But if he can make even the routine plays over there, he should be playing right now. And if he can't make the routine plays, he shouldn't be up wasting on the bench.
