    It might help if we could understand what he's saying half the time.

    He's more of a character than a good analyst/announcer.

    That's fine, but you can't deny that he is pretty tough to understand for a large percentage of the viewing population.......

    I'm not "scairt" of any "invaders" you imbecile. I just don't want to pay for them.

    And once again you try to troll to make it political, Youk should ban you for this already.

    You can defend it all you want, but the bottom line is papi is pretty tough to understand for the average viewer.

    Yeah, based on the way he played, I can see where the out to lunch and the annoying opinions would come from.

    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
