Who the heck is this guy? Yes, I've seen the baseball cube stats:

But last year's sub .800 OPS at AA hardly justifies him leading off what Steve Phillips continues to call the "the greatest lineup in the history of baseball"

(sorry, Phillips just bothers me - the man makes me appreciate Joe Morgan's analysis!)

Meanwhile, He is actually hitting big league pitching AND Jose Contreras. Never remember this guy on anyone's radar for any reason.
