Old Time Family Baseball

"If we can get him to replicate his swing three days in a row, Jose Bautista could hit 25 homers a year. In fact, I think he could hit 40. He is just so easily frustrated when it doesn’t go right that he blames himself and forgets what he’s learned. Or ignores it. But of all these guys I have, if you want one of them who will eventually do something special in this game, I’d pick him. I wouldn’t be very surprised."

Via Keith Olbermann comes an earth-shattering quote from Jeff Manto on Jose Bautista in the year 2007. Seriously, this is like if someone circa 1865 said, “You know, we always had our eye on that John Wilkes character. Dangerous fellow.”

I don’t know what Jeff Manto’s political leanings are, but if he is this good at spotting hitters, he must be great with domestic and international issues as well, right?
