Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

"since I don't understand English well, I don't pay attention to what the critics say, so I don't get mad"

The Essence of Yuniesky Betancourt

meanwhile Buster Olney says "Yuniesky Betancourt is wrecking the conventional wisdom that you can't win with him at shortstop."

If he starts playing 2nd, I know who's gonna be our utility infielder next year

Any argument that includes the "you can't win with player x" statement is immediately void.

You can literally win with any player in your starting lineup or starting rotation if the rest of your team is good enough. It’s a terrible argument. The Ravens won with Trent Dilfer as their starting QB. The Bulls won with Luc freaking Longley. The Brewers can win with Yuniesky Betancourt or Tony Pena Jr. as their starting shortstop.

keep this in mind

Buster Olney gave the World productive outs. But he is a Secret Society of Roberts member and a History Major like me, so he’s not all bad.

Here’s a fun assignment.. who was the worst player to regularly play for a league-winning or World Series-winning team?

He STILL hasn't learned English

He’s probably close to illiterate in Spanish and not too intelligent, but still, jeez, he’s been in America long enough.

then again

he lives in Miami during the offseason. A pretty prime place for a Cuban immigrant to live

i’d imagine that Yuni might not be much of a public speaker in any language, much less English

I await Yuni’s stint with the Miami Marlins

About A Year

After my German wife died, I was introduced to a German woman who had been here 14 years. She is a video editor, and good at it, but her English language skills are just good enough to make you think she isn’t really stupid. She is. I made allowances for the language difficulties, but now I see she is just an idiot. Video editing, BTW, is a tedious, high effort job that takes forever. Props to her that she does it well. It just doesn’t take much general knowledge or intelligence.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
