i do not see what everyone else sees in valbuena.

 

What does everyone see in Valbuena?

 

an acceptable baseball player.

 

You won't find much of that here.

 

It's admirable that he seems to be able to work a count, but it doesn't usually amount to much.

 

I feel like there's plenty of Valbuena acceptance around these parts.

 

Yeah, like people on a sinking ship resigned to their fate.

[Sammy Sofa]

What a shitty underhand toss.

he shows flashes of stuff but he usually is just terrible at hitting.

This thread needs more Fred

Actually, this is probably one of few threads this year that won't require Fred's presence.

What a [expletive] underhand toss.

what's the point in having a 6'3 1B if you don't make him stretch for routine plays?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

And here's your annual MLB.tv Opening Day outage.

SHARK =D>

I assume he is done now at 94 pitches. What a great outing.

[Clem Fandango]

Awesome play by Castro

Starlin smoother than a baby's bottom

[Cubs Fan Dan]
