We just gave a 2 year deal to a guy whose career best year made him slightly below average at the second weakest hitting position on the field.

Doug, youre well respected in my book, whats the difference between Taveras and Freel, if it's huge then I understand the belly ache, if not then its replacing Freel with Taveras in my book.
