- You may consider this additional evidence that Mark Ellis is the most Oakland player of them all
- Aaron Rowand appears to be a trend-setter
- It's probably bad news for the Astros that their most similar bat is a backup catcher
- Everything about the Mariners' most similar hitter is perfect

Good luck finding a team with that little discipline

Plate discipline, 30 seconds after I posted, was what I realized he had meant. At first I interpreted to mean the discipline not to sign Jose Lopez.

Kelly Johnson is having a better year than that right?
