Switch-hitter line-drives all over the field, SS does back flips like Ozzie Smith use too.

Just made me think of Freddie Adu.[/quote]

Didn't even notice that. Yeah, I think you're right. Gonzalez is a shortstop who was signed by the Nationals. Pena is a catcher who hasn't been signed? Both are 16 year old Dominican kids.

Gee, thanks for confusing us Kochman. :D
