We have a very young and extremely talented center fielder named Andrew McCutchen. Last I looked, he wasn't in the running for the All star Bid, and thats a shame, as he is outstanding. He runs, Bats and throws. Some have said he is a reminder of a young Barry Bonds......I hate to say being good, when he was young (barry-roid) went to his head.....but will end on a pun. Did you ever notice the disproportionate size of his head near the end of his playing days?

Yes, Bonds really stands out when you see footage of him pre-roids. I did see him play in SF then a few times at the park and later- why the hell his use didn't get discussed much earlier is amazing. I just hope the hell that he (and many others) didn't mess up their hearts and we hear of early deaths.
Mainly, I want to see the raw talent and love of the game for the game out there. Baseball is really a game of athletic ability and strategy that takes brains to be good at it. I really appreciate watching how managers know their guy's strengths and how and when to use this on the field to try and score or defend.
