"You're a boring old man"
I think in general, and with respect to Biertempfel's idiocy published today, it's a much better thing for us fans to ask if Nutting wants to win, rather than somebody like Polanco, given how hard he's worked to get back into game shape and recover from his injury.
No doubt.
I have nothing against Bell/Polanco. I just never really saw the hype on either. Polanco, pretty early on demonstrated a low baseball IQ and unfortunately that's something I think you either have or don't. Obviously there are varying degrees but you don't move the needle much as you might with hitting for better average/more power for example.
On top of that, his swing is looooooooong. I don't think he recognizes pitches very well either. Really crappy on the bases, which is sad given he is quite athletic.
I'm not sure he ever heard the Bonds hype in the media, but if he did, that was unfair to the kid.
