Seriously, another Doctor Nick?

Grady Sizemore swears Doctor Nick said he could play again this year.

Doctor Nick actually said Grady could see a play this year, because there was nothing wrong with his eyes. Then offered to give him laser eye surgery which would install laser cannons in his eyeballs.

Sign of progress

They actually hired someone from outside the organization.

Not only from outside, but

one of the most highly respected trainers in the game

where have I heard that before?

I used to work with an old man that told me. Son, every workplace has a dumbass, if you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.

I think this was done so Trey and GMDM would remember his name.

from USA Today

Kenney, hired Thursday, spent the past five seasons as assistant trainer for the Cleveland Indians and was part of a staff that was voted in 2007 as the best in baseball by the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society and Baseball Prospectus.

Kenney also worked for seven seasons as the head trainer for the Cincinnati Cyclones minor league hockey team and two years as program manager of sports medicine for TriHealth, the official medical provider for the Reds.

A hockey trainer?! Are Trey and Dayton planning a new strategy, maybe a new take on baserunning, run-downs, or (of course) beanball brawls?

It's the "We can't hit, and we can't walk, but we can tackle!" strategy

It comes in handy when you knock the other players out of the game, or cause them to drop the ball. Getting on base on errors is the new economic inefficiency in baseball.
