There is a God. He must’ve been on the other side of the universe for a year or so.

Veteranoscity, is that called? With so many young players, they may be concerned they need some older voices on the team.

I won't discount the importance of veteran leadership but I'd prefer that the veteran be someone who can hit lots of home runs.

Frazier managed to hit .202 last year. Maybe they think he'll be a good influence on Bae (.189), Suwinski (.182) and Davis (.144).

And if he can't help, maybe they can send for Abraham Nunez. I'm sure Lloyd McLendon remembers how to call on him. He only did it every frickin' night.

Until I saw Shelton, McClendon was the worst manager I ever saw. Nunez was a good fielder and weak hitter. But he was McClendon's favorite PHer (at which he was horrible) and usually out of the game after that so that he wasn't available for late inning defense.
