He was a bum this season, and will be the same next season.  He's a slightly 
above average fielder and a far below average hitter with no power or speed, 
and should be no more than a utility player.  He's Jeff Reboulet with a huge 
contract and an everyday job.  I watched him all season long.  Signing him 
was definitely Gillick's dumbest move.  *adh*
