Bennett on 7 who could wear the Star
« on: February 12, 2008, 09:27:42 am »
Jose's blog yesterday gave Rickey Bennett's take on Chris Johnson, Sergio Perez, Tommy Manzella, Eli Iorg, Brad James, Felipe Paulino and Chad Reineke.

Here are some highlights, feel free to discuss:

Johnson should start at CC

Manzella could start at RR but will be decided at ST

Iorg has all the tools just needs to be consistant

James is getting folks excited & "starting to hit his peak"

Perez is making strides (Jacksonian's comparison to Hirsh is looking better everyday)

Reineke looks like a future bullpen guy

Not much said about Paulino other than he had a good winter and is healthy.

Always ready to go to a game.

You know ... I really do know better than this.  You fought your way through the drivel and excerpted the good stuff, and I could have just left it alone at that point.  But NoooOOOO ...

From this interview, I get the following impressions about these players:

Tommy Manzella - Adam Everett/Chris Burke type of player(ugh).

I not only went ahead and read the whole blog entry, but I also succombed to the temptation of perusing the comments, until I was snared by this one.  YIKES!!  AE/CB as if they were interchangeable??  Un-bee-lievable!

I'll never get the time back and I'll have nightmarish flashbacks on that one for a long time.
