Unlimited Fish, Cozy Barrel

In the hierarchy of uninspired baseball blogging, pointing out isolated dumb statements by the pregame guys ranks somewhere in between link collecting and detailed game recaps, but whatever. This exchange made me chuckle:

Johnny Holliday: "He can hit, he can catch, he's a heckuva kid."

Ray Knight: "The one word that summizes what he is, is full of character."

If you must know, they were talking about Wil Nieves. This guy, who is currently slugging less than what Dmitri Young weighs*, is such a presence in the lineup that any one-word summizary of him requires three.

Or, better yet, perhaps four more carefully selected letters.

Anyway, this was part of a ten-minute segment about Nieves, which I'd summize in one word as waste of time.
