Cleaning process starts early players of Major League Baseball. Star to be hit the rookie symposium, where he taught what not to say. Veterans reminds them that words hurt a lot more than they help. Savviest understand, it is much easier to play than the personality of the robot seems to matter a whit.
No wonder baseball is thus deprived of their characters. It is not a marketing problem. It is not a lack of effort. And 'inherent stodginess of the game - which will have the opportunity to openly turn - to avoid developing a baseball star on a par with the NFL and NBA.
Some players are more important than the strength of his boredom. Derek Jeter (notes) are as shy as I understand it, but because of its excellence in the field and the appearance and location, of course, security, a pitchman is and remains a popular figure. The exception is different.
Carlos Zambrano (notes) are opposites in many ways Jeter. It is often too honest for his own good - too thick, too real, too emotional. Earlier this season, said his Chicago Cubs were teammates to play as a full team of Triple-A guys. He was rude as hell - and rightly so, the type of person that Jeter would bite the murmur cliché. Zambrano latest misstep - his team after walking on a conviction and disqualification from the list, the equivalent of a baseball leper colony - took its rawness a bit too far. Whatever passion can ultimately affect Zambrano lost his idiocy.
Logan Morrison, however, is a shiny Zambrano. Through the power of Twitter and the weight of its charm, has raised a popular figure in his first full season with the Florida Marlins. It 'an open, candid, and his views happen to dovetail with the populist thinking. As Morrison has the audacity to talk about an organization that prides itself of recession, now is the Triple-. The reality: baseball away is dangerous and rarely rewarded. It reflects the businesses in America more than other species. The truth is a disease. And so the Marlins will be sent ...
Logan Morrison in the first re-education camp in the minor leagues. All year, they bad for a reason to do so, tired of his criticism for the shooting part of the Marlins coach John Mallee, his public flaying the San Francisco Giants GM Brian Sabean, his uniform pointing diva Hanley Ramirez extraordinary.
What these things have in common? Morrison died on each. Mallee was an easy scapegoat. Sabean condemnation of Scott Cousins (notes) to traffic on Buster Posey (note) at the plate was dazed. Ramirez, according to teammates past and present, are among the most selfish players they have never seen anyone have coasted for years on natural talent, do not worry about those who wear the same uniform as him and to act as he does because he knows the Marlins Dum and Tweedle Dee, owner Jeff Loria and David Samson, President, fainting on him.
Sometimes, Ramirez was shot (which Morrison later said did not have to be, as may become out), and bowing to the Marlins for his commitment to charity (which became the wake of the Marlins staff reported scale is different in Morrison, founded the charity event), Florida, was forced to cut it. Head Baseball Larry Beinfest, Marlins' operations, continues to peddle the story of Sunday's performance was above that of Morrison, who received a trip to New Orleans.
It is true that Morrison had struggled to a hot start. He still has an OPS + 114 - 14 percent better than average in the league and better than all the Marlin, but Mike Stanton (notes) (130) and Gaby Sanchez (notes) (116).
"We thought it was Logan's best interest to go down and work on some things," says the Miami area Beinfest reporters Sunday. "Just focus on baseball and all aspects of being a major league player and work your way back. I think there's a time and a place for everyone in the game. I a lot of unwritten rules many appointments, "respect the game." Again, I do not speak specifically on Logan, but there are things out there. "
How rich to see Hanley Ramirez (note) says the head of respect for the game. What Beinfest really meant was that Morrison had to be quiet so he did not have enough of the organization, it becomes ...
Carlos Zambrano and the second brings in the clubhouse with him. Based on the words of Cubs players breathed from Z to its 30 days of purgatory DQ'd on the list a little life into a group that had long since tired of his antics, his teammates to fight for the fans of the Cubs tearing to compare his team with a cloth to clear his minor league office, slammed the door on the stage and insisted he was retired.
Z, we need to know now is 30 going on 3. This is a series of low-yielding perennial plague, a black hole of $ 18 million. He is sincere, yes, but there is a difference between someone who is so open and someone poison the antics of a culture.
Electricity is, of course, through the arm Zambrano how to use both. The old mid-90s fastball is now sometimes goes over 80. He throws things off-speed, and not hum as his fastball has done. Some team will take him a flyer, once Cubs let him go, because everyone thinks of themselves as the magician who can evoke the ancient magic.
Z was once a magician, a pitcher whose talent annoying drawbacks. Today is like any other sad nothing more than a passive, unable to put his money where his mouth is ...
3. Jimmy Rollins has been doing all these years. It 's funny to think back to when the Clowning Rollins New York Mets Philadelphia Phillies weren'ta wealthy giant. When Rollins was trying to bully Mets these days, so she looks like a big, bad bully.
Rollins is a prince of a baseball candor, one of which Napoleon's statements seemed absurd until it actually supports. Once atop the mountain, Rollins, compared to back his words, but would prefer a flash of fat, gold band back to all those who doubted that he meant what he said.
The old Rollins could return at any time, perhaps as soon as the offseason, when he hits free agency as a man of 33 years and gives the Phillies their second big decision to become one of the powers of the party. The first was to Jayson Werth (notes) to go. Rollins is more important for the team in spirit if not in production. Philadelphia drafted him, picked him up and got stuck at shortstop for 11 seasons. It's like Derek Jeter's situation last winter.
If the Phillies are going to get serious and fall back to Rollins, it might pop. Or maybe it's past, and at a time when he realizes the market for a shortstop with a career 97 OPS + is not as robust if the illusion of Jimmy Rollins was not as good as that it is. The bold and free agency gets its best test when ...
4th CJ Wilson (notes) hits the market in November that the best major league pitcher out there, and if Yu Darvish not come from Japan, the best pitcher period. It also makes a wild card intellectual, whether the type of player teams love or hate, because it defies a sports culture where obedience to leaders, coaches and managers is the norm.
During the period prior to the elections of 2008, Wilson expressed his dismay that none of the Texas Rangers have talked about the presidential race. A former teammate, Brandon McCarthy (notes), has tried to convince her message board that it would happen eventually. Wilson's response: ". Come on, man must be admitted, the median or average guy a baseball club sends down SUV, drinks beer, golf, loves college sports, chews tobacco or drops and is relatively idiot"
Wilson got a talking to veterans. It has not muzzled. Last week, when we talk about playing in Oakland is ugly O.co Coliseum, Wilson said: "I hate pitching stinks Mound, fans suck There are no fans out there ..."
Tying his words of truth, Wilson is doing more than others. It's a fine line between speaking out and strange, that ...
Nyjer Morgan fifth fingers never very good. Channels the Milwaukee Brewers' center fielder hit his personality in an alter-ego named Tony who is stuffed, for want of a better term, BAT-shit nuts, or when he feels particularly strong, becomes the "professional" Tony Gumbel, who likes to "tickle" balls in the outfield.
How cute shtick Morgan seems to depend on his will to his side birds. He designed the seven-year suspension last season's game throwing the ball a fan of the hall and another is charging the mound Chris Volstad (Notes) and bench-clearing brawl incitement. Washington Nationals tired of him, and he of them, said the Milwaukee-area radio station this year, "It 'nice to be a baseball town."
Morgan looks like a baseball player this year after struggling with Washington. The "Plushdamentals" likes to talk led to a batting average of .317 and .448 percentage of hits. He hits too (51 times) and walks very few (seven), but between the bat and well above half the defense was a savior for Milwaukee, which deserves every word can cause consternation. So it was with ...
6th Chipper Jones (Notes) in Atlanta, when he arrived for good in 1995. Jones has never depart from his opinion. After July 1 game with a questionable call fill-in umpire, let Jones fly hail: "The duty in this league are unhealthy for most," he said. "I am leaving for my team. And if a guy does not work, I'll say something. If I get fined, I get a fine. I do not care. ... I have not allowed to do my job. "
What is the best about Jones is how he is ready to publish soak in the conspiracy theory. Nothing is too sacred to Larry Wayne Jones, certainly not the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Jones said ThePostGame in March that he not only believe that there was another shooter, he believes that the government was behind it.
"After firing a shotgun in my life, I personally believe that there is more of a shooter," said Jones. "The conspiracy behind this is what really intrigues me.
"I'm sure it went pretty high, but I do not know how high we say that someone had set in motion -.. And it was the senior U.S. government"
Well, then.
The only real transition is to remember that it is about ...
7. Luke Scott and the lack of a birth certificate. Surely you remember an interview with David Scott Brown, in which he revealed that he birther. When President Obama's birth certificate to the public, Scott was not yet convinced
"Birth certificate must still be validated," said Sam Mellinger Kansas City Star. "If you can fake $ 100 bills, I think it's a million times easier to fake a birth certificate, if you ask me. So all I just want to see if they are true. Anyone can produce a document, so let's check it out. "
Scott, the injured Baltimore Orioles designated hitter, did not go over when an ESPN Magazine story in detail how he throws plantain chips at the Orioles outfielder Felix Pie (notes) when he is "behaving like a wild. "
And that's all that needs to be said for Scott, because there is a point where confidence becomes absurd, and it is long gone. On much of Scott ...
8. Scott Boras, the agent, who saves his most bizarre thoughts monster binding, which presents the case for his free agents. Boras otherwise interfere opinions, of course. To ask him anything and he will offer a three course meal ideas. He was trying to claim the sky is green and the grass is blue if the challenge - and it was probably to convince some people along the path.
Boras to "challenge the status quo - the draft signing bonuses in the pay scales in the majors to jump through the gaps, while playing double Dutch - has infuriated the MLB for three decades and made it a pariah to the public. Golondrina Boras because he believes in the work you do.
And although it's not quite holy, his actions do to help others, and his words carry weight. When Boras talks, others listen. It's not quite like that with ...
9. Ozzie Guillen, their propensity to explode so widespread that very important part of the mystique Ozzie when it is not as shocking as it was.
Of course, Ray Ozzie has softened some. It is no longer at war with Jay Mariotti. He has not fought as much with his GM Williams, Kenny. The worst happened to Ozzie this year was his son, the Middle RIP White Sox in the Tweet Tweet.
The man has a way with words. "I am Charlie Sheen baseball, without drugs and a prostitute," he said earlier this year when people really cared about Charlie Sheen and his innate ability to capture a moment, regardless of the audience's perception becomes one Guillen commodity rare: a manager with a car's personality.
There is a perfect job out there for him, in fact, that he could become mayor of the city instead of the team leader for second banana. This is where he wants to be, even when he could manage ...
10. Logan Morrison and help lead the Florida Marlins for another championship. What is a club that Ozzie make their regular routes, jokes Lomo slope, a daily meeting of the minds that would destroy the bounds of propriety.
Damn, it would be fun anyway. Baseball does not have much Ozzie Guillen and Logan Morrison left. Sport them ran off. Of course, a Gary Sheffield (notes) come around every now and then in the napalm every place he went. And Jeff Kent will be there to play the movie Barry Bonds. And George Steinbrenner might call the players and the leaders of the brand and to complain. And Bob Feller - yes, he talks about the good old days.
Morrison likes to talk about these days, but the Marlins sent a message that basically said: no. No more screaming Hanley. No images funniest Twitter to a child who is no more than 15 years, accompanied by the question: "Samson, David? Yes or no? Vote now." Be yourself.
Fortunately, he knows nothing. Baseball has to say what he thinks Morrison, ignoring their own Twitter avatar - a cartoon of him with a piece of tape over his mouth and the word written in red censored - and tell the truth.
It is not enough left Logan Morrison. Hopefully the game does not steal someone else.
