Sweetbody Says: Don't Forget About #11


Welcome once again to "Sweetbody Says"
With all the fantastic winter moves that J.P and the Blue Jays made, things are looking great for 2006! How could they not be with the players we added?!? But wait..we are perhaps overlooking a brilliant change that this has also created.
This year will be the Return of #11, no I'm not talking about King George Bell, I'm talking about Eric Hinske!! Some will say that he should have been traded for a set of used bases..or that he's here because nobody wanted him, or that they would be happy to sit on the bench and earn millions of dollars like Eric will. But,,,BUT he isnt sitting around!
Last season when he was bumped at 3rd base with Koskie being signed, Eric moved to 1st to help fill the void without uttering one complaint. Now he is without a home in the infield..ok, he grabbed an outfield glove and has been working on tracking fly balls ever since. Still without a complaint.
Imagine how you would feel if you were constantly being moved at your job?..Ever seen Office Space? Hinske wont be burning the office down anytime soon, instead he will be lighting up right handed pitchers!
There may not be a return to his Rookie of the Year totals in a platoon role but come on now, this guy has some good stats over his 4 years in the Major Leagues..http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/players/6645/

I'm picking "Mr.11" to be the Blue Jays comeback player or 2006.
'nuff said.

why?..cuz Sweetbody Says
