OF anything

since my almost 2 year old post was brought up

the original premise of the post was that there was an obvious agenda

to push a marketing campaign behind the "next" african american baseball star

and that was the reason he made the all-star team as a rookie

leading vote getter for the OF at that (if I remember correctly, same year CarGo threatened for the triple crown)

not his performance

which is even more ironic mentioning the Dodgers

why that wasn't Matt Kemp, IDK?

and to the Dominic Brown reply

that also demonstrated that a player can have a breakout initially

and then decline in performance after teams become familiar with that player (also pure snark)

oh, and I wasn't on the boards tough last summer because I moved across country

thanks for your concern

and the Phillies sucked, painful to follow, and I couldn't watch it anyway
