He may soon be a Met, and if you know as little as I do, you don't want to be caught off-guard.
Justin Turner...
[list=1][*] ...has collected a hit in all five games he's played with Buffalo after being claimed off waivers from Baltimore on May 27. He's batting .350 as a Herdsman.
[/*:m]
[*] ...led all Orioles' minor leaguers with a .300 average with Triple-A Norfolk.
[/*:m]
[*] ...was drafted in the seventh round in 2006 by the Reds. Who was the Reds GM then? Wayne Fucking Krivsky, that's who.
[/*:m]
[*] ...has spent most of his career at second, but has tooled around at third, short, and the outfield.
[/*:m]
[*] ...shows some extra-base power, though not much, but he does get in his walks and singles. Batting righthanded, he's put up a .307 / .373 / .430 // .803 line in the sticks.
[/*:m]
[*] ...was originally drafted by the Yankees but chose educaton instead. Good man.
[/*:m]
[*] ...got his first hit in a battering of the Yankees last September at "the Stadium." Great man.
[/*:m]
[*] ...is not a fan of the Gazoo helmet, confessing recently, "I don't even look in the mirror. I think they're ridiculous. There's got to be a way to put more protection in the helmet and not have them look that atrocious," Um, what adult looks in the mirror with a batting helmet on?
[/*:m]
[*] ...looks a little... I don't know. What's the word I'm looking for?
"Photoshopped," certainly.
[/*:m]
[*] ... appears to be blogging, but that's not really a blog, is it? Something like a fake blog page spontaneously generated out of an RSS feed or something.[/*:m][/list:o]
