Gathright also jumps cars.
So he provides added entertainment.

And pitchers.
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

Nothing Gathright can do will ever compete with the Ibanez sidebar

People think I hate Griffey too
I don’t hate Griffey. I just find him to be inferior.

Yeah, but nobody has irrational love of Gathright.

It's not that you hate Griffey
It’s that people hate on Griffey to try and make you think they’re cool.

Not everything is attributable to people trying to suck up to Jeff.
There’s perfectly legit reasons to hate Griffey.

All I can think when I watch that is
“This dude is totally going to wind up on the DL for this.”

Gathright has nothing on my friend
He really is 5’10" and can dunk like Dwight Howard.

You're being pretty conservative with Gathright's defense, too.

He's not on any of the current one- or three-year leaderboards.
But if we step back a year and look at 2005-2007, he was +33 over that period (fifth in baseball).
UZR has him at +13/150 for his career in CF (291 "defensive games).
I’d be comfortable calling him +10, but I can see why you’d want to be conservative, considering your point is still made even if you’re underrating him.

I looked at the UZR and PMR and decided to ~split the difference
but yeah, when you’re making an argument, it’s best to be conservative in the direction opposite what you’re trying to show.

Ibanez's defense > Burrell's defense.
So yes.
Mariners ----> Brewers.

Gathright hit a homerun of Pineiro
He’s already won me over.

I miss Pineiro....
I know that is so wrong.
