FIGGINS! or CHO-KNEE! question mark?

I get confused when the announcers call him Sean.

Are Ichiro and Felix coming up in the queue?
Let’s ban anyone who hates them.
There is a pretty clear pattern here I think

Is it by numerical order?
‘Cause I’m not seeing a pattern in that.

I predict Doug Fister's next.
Call it intuition.
I think there needs to be a 6th option for Griffey

The point is to get a variety of answers I think.
That would just be too easy.
Everything is Rob Johnson's fault.

I like seeing a player take a walk
I just wish I had seen him get some more hits up to this point.

I like Chone Figgins
It’s still pretty early and he’s still trying to get going. However, I really like the discipline he brings to the lineup as well as his range on defense. I could learn to love this guy.
I voted 'like' because he's kind of struggling right now.
It’s nice to see his solid defense and ability to draw walks and be fast — but until he starts hitting, it’s hard to love him.
It’s irrational, because over the long haul he’s going to be a much better player and I’ll grow to love him. But he’s started the season slow. I’m not as excited yet.
However, Milton Bradley has struggled and I love that man because he’s crazy. Good thing we’re able to use our own criteria in these.

I think I'd move from like to love...
If he wasn’t Beltre’s nominal replacement. Maybe if he started appealing his own calls?

I think I'd move from "don't have a strong opinion" to "like."
if he weren’t Beltre’s nominal replacement. As it stands, he’s under producing (SSS) and, well, not Beltre. We can forgive him for not being Beltre. When he produces, I will like him.
And doing the Beltre Shuffle.

That is very clearly what I'm doing
I mean, Jesus Colome? I thought that would’ve been the giveaway.

This comes off harsher than I intended
Yes, we are going to do this for everyone, and I can’t wait until the end.

Idiot.
Suzuki comes before Vargas.
Everything is Rob Johnson's fault.

Love the walk rate.
Furthermore I speculate that his approach has an effect on some of his teammates.
The basis of this speculation is pure conjecture, which everyone recognizes as the most exact of sciences.
He had an 8 pitch walk the other night, and swung only twice.
And he does that kind of thing all the time.
I like the patience, ability to work the count, etc.
But I gotta see some more hits out of Figgy before I’m in the love category with him.

Marc at USSM posted today about Chone Figgins being similar to Vidro.
It didn’t make sense to me at first, but actually Vidro had some Figgins-like numbers his first year in Seattle. His OBP was much higher than I remember. So I guess Figgins is slightly similar, but more patient, with speed and defense.

I'm in like with him
And someone should have told Eyebrows he wasn’t allowed to vote
I can't believe I just said "I love Chone Figgins"
I’ve always hated Chone Figgins. I’ve hated his annoying Angels-style play. I’ve hated his baggy uniform. I’ve hated his dumbest name in the entire world. I hate Chone Figgins.
Except now I love Chone Figgins. Watching him play is fun. Watching him “slump” but keep his OBP over .330 is terrific. Chone Figgins is one of my top 5 Mariners.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
