Wow.

Paul LoDuca is not good at all.

He's a gritty leader.

You can’t put a price on winners like that. Championships are made of players like Paul LoDuca, and not look-at-me prima donnas like Manny Ramirez.

The only thing is, Manny's price is even higher than it should be because of people who say:

“He’s a proven winner!”
Ugh.

It's a vicious cycle.

And it’s the reason no teams other than the Yankees have a real chance at winning the World Series.

to be fair

it’s not like we’re talking about Luis Sojo here and he was just there on a lot of good teams, Manny is one of the five or ten best hitters of the last 20 years and has raked in the playoffs and legitimately deserves a lot of individual credit for his teams’ success, in Cleveland and Boston and LA

That's true.

But he doesn’t do that BECAUSE he’s a proven winner. It’s because he’s really, really good.

well, yes

but isn’t it demonstrably true that being really, really good at hitting the baseball is a proven way to win baseball games?

a rancid turd of a man.

HELLO HELLO MR WILPON. WE WANT THE MANSION NOT THE CONDO.

I never liked LoDuca.

He was always overrated because of his big mouth.
