He's the latest in the Cardinals' "Super Soldier" program, their genetic engineering intiative to produce an army of defensively-challenged first baseman/outfielder/DH types. http://mlb.mlb.com/images/players/mugshot/ph_408219.jpg This was their first subject, using Dave Duncan's DNA as the base. As you can see, it has since experienced quite a bit of clonal degeneration, as the process was imperfect. http://mlb.mlb.com/images/players/mugshot/ph_458628.jpghttp://mlb.mlb.com/images/players/mugshot/ph_458036.jpg Their second two efforts have been marginally more successful, at least as far as the degeneration goes, but between the two of them they're hitting about .200, so the program is still searching for its first perfect subject.
