Random Stupid People And Stupid Quotes: Kevin Baxter

From today’s L.A. Times regarding Ethier vs. Pierre:

But Ethier, 25, has more power, a better arm and will drive in more runs, tools that would make him more valuable off the bench.

Your new additions to the Dodgers’ 2008 bench who also fit this criteria:

Russell Martin, Jeff Kent, Matt Kemp, Andruw Jones, and James Loney.

It’s kind of like saying in the early 1960′s: “Koufax: strikes out a ton of hitters, has thrown no-hitters, wins 20+ games a year… tools that would make him more valuable in mop-up duty.”

Very boneheady, Kevin.

Kevin Baxter, try an original idea. Plaschke pulled this one out of his ass a couple weeks ago. Kissing up to Plaschke will ensure that will be writing obituaries in a Podunk newspaper.

Yeah, what is this, Baxter trying to spin Ethier starting the season as the fourth outfielder to provide cover for Uncle Ned and Super Joe? Silly me, I thought a reporter’s job was to REPORT. Is Ned slipping Baxter a few large behind the dumpster? Hey Torre, here’s an idea: let the best players start. Sorry Juan, but that ain’t you. And if Smalls whines and complains (I still cannot bring myself to call him “Slappy”), Ned can trade him for a bag of elbow guards and a case of bottled water.
