I don't know if this deserves its own diary, but I have to vent. Against my better judgment, I was listening to KJR on my work to work at around 1:30. Someone (Dick Fain?) was in for Grosby today and was talking about Adam Jones. His basic argument for not calling Jones up was "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", when in fact "it" (meaning Turbo and the rangeless LF of London) is very broke. Then he goes on to say basically "it's not like Adam Jones is Ken Griffey Jr. or Alex Rodriguez. If he was Griffey he wouldn't be in AAA at 21 years old. It's not like Jones is a future hall of famer. Griffey was the number 1 prospect in baseball when he was called up. Before the season, Baseball Examiner rated Jones as the 15th ranked OUTFIELDER."

Judging whether someone should be called up based on their pre-season ranking from a random site is asinine. Why someone would make such a retarded argument when it's their job to talk about sport, I can't understand.
