Mike Scioscia on the worth of Erstad, Varitek, et al: "Sometimes your best player isn't the best player, at least statistically. The players all know Erstad is our best player, just as anyone who manages against the Red Sox knows Varitek is their best player, or Jeter is the Yankees' best player. Paul Lo Duca isn't far from that category, as well. People tell me that we'd be better with someone other than Erstad or David Eckstein, and I know otherwise. If they want someone else, fine, find someone else to manage."

If Erstad didn't enjoy the chaw and dive for a ball occasionally he'd be on the bench.

He also has the "CORNHUSKER PUNTER" vibe on his side.

I think the last thing on earth I'd want to catch a glimpse of in 25 years is Erstad's lower jaw.

erstad is/was actually a phenomenal defensive centerfielder

Hence, playing him @ 1B. Yeah, I know you know that I know that you know, but, still, they're playing a substandard hitter - in terms of average OFs - at 1B, where his outstanding defensive prowess is going to waste.

Yeah, Erstad is better than Vlad, Jeter better than Sheff... Let's invite Scioscia to a party at Reality's house.

Lordy, how sad was the catching situation in the early 90s that _The Simpsons_ had to tag MIKE SCOSCIA as the guest-star catcher?
