I think Rizzo might be my favorite.

 

he's a pretty good baseball player. it's amazing, when we traded for him, they said he could end up being an above average but not elite 1B. amazing development work by the org.

 

I believed in the upside. The guy did survive cancer at 18 which I think affected how he was viewed, but the numbers and non-ceiling comment part of the scouting reports (which I mean, really for everyone - [expletive] those) were outstanding. It's his....chutzpah/moxie/attitude/makeup that I love. Bryant's kinda got the untouched weirdo uber talent kid going for him, Rizzo's a more experienced and hardened kind of guy. Call it killer instinct or just instinctual and intuitive, whatever, but he's got that toughness this franchise has never been known for.

 

The combination of the two because they feel so different, yet both are so totallyawesome really makes me appreciate them more in aggregate than solo. And Thoyer for their role.
