Seriously?

If he's out in front of an outside pitch, he would miss it entirely, and if he did make contact, he wouldn't pull it.

Ken Singleton is a fool. Troy Percival is the unquestioned team leader in the clubhouse.

Carl Crawford - as much as he never stops talking -, also never stops talking about how young he is and he's not the leader of the team - how he's "just a guy learning how to do it", just like all the other guys...


Even from what I saw last year, C.C. is on his own page and is afraid to lead by anything other than example. Despite C.C. being the most "vocal", James Shields was the vocal "leader" in the clubhouse. BY FAR!!!
