When I think of baseball player, I think of players like Colvin, etc. I would give some other names, but then I would get crucified for putting those guys' names in the same sentence with Colvin. My point with the "baseball player" remark was that when I look at Colvin, I see a young player who is eager for his opportunity, but still goes out and hits in a lesser role. And when he does start, he's got a hop in his step and it is just fun to watch him out there. I don't really get the same vibe from Kosuke, that's all. You understand that baseball players don't have choices in their "role", right? It's not like Colvin says "You know...I'm not really ready to be a regular starter, so I think I'll take a backseat while I learn my place in this game." The "vibe" you get from players is a poor argument to use on this board. Okay fair enough. What kind of arguments would you say are effective on this board then? Stats only? One's that aren't based around "he looks like a baseball player" would be a good start. I'm for Colvin getting a lot of playing time at this point, but not because of the stupid nonsensical stuff you're saying.
