Giving the devil his due, you're getting better. I prefer cranky. Snippy reminds me too much of that infamous conversation between Al Gore and George W. Bush. I don't want to be lumped in with those guys. Ill. Good question, Matt.
Talent is a funny thing in baseball.
I'd say baseball is different. Outfielder Gary Matthews Jr. might be the best athlete on the team, but he was not blessed with the ability to hit a curveball in the way that, say, Mark Grace was. Natural hitting ability has much more to do with hand-eye coordination than athletic gifts. Just ask Michael Jordan. If I had to pick an overachiever, Augie Ojeda would get my vote.
