Yeah, I was thinking about small, but instead went with fat. Mesa’s probably better on a drama. Team him with Dennis Farina and you have a top ten show.

I went with the smallest closer I could find for Arnold Jackson.

Can’t you see John Franco looking up at Rob Dibble and saying “Whatchoo talkin’ about, Dibble?”

Mrs. Garrett is a tough one to cast. Maybe Trevor Hoffman b/c everyone likes him.

I don’t know the right show for Jose Mesa but he deserves his own one. Maybe he’s Rosco P. Coltrane and Omar Vizquel and Robbie Alomar are the Dukes?

re: mental image — oh, I found that image sexy.

re: cast — John Franco is Mrs Garrett and Jose Mesa is Gary Coleman. Puh-lease.

I think Bob the mental image of Lee Smith making sweet love to a lady on Jeff Reardon’s face might have been the one he found objectionable.

If baseball closers = Diff’t Strokes cast members, it would be…

Lee Smith = Todd Bridges
Jeff Reardon = Dana Plato
John Franco = Gary Coleman
Rollie Fingers = Mr. Drummond
Rob Dibble = The Gooch
Lee Smith’s Sweet Love Partner = Janet Jackson (Willis’ girlfriend Charlene).

So based on those analogies, its Todd Bridges making love to Janet Jackson on Dana Plato’s face. That’s almost as hot as the pre-analogy version…

Lee Smith is black (or African-American for the PC folks out there). That dude up there closed games and robbed jewelry stores for a living.

That Lee Smith image is so horrible I may never be able to get that ut of my mind. Thanks.

Grey finally found a fellow Karabell hater. Isn’t that cute…

I’ve got Posada in two leagues and I wouldn’t trade him for Soto. Per Cory’s point, you need to look at all categories and I think Mauer’s lineup slot and Posada’s team put them in better position for 80 R and 80 RBI. With maybe 10 SB, Mauer should make up the HR difference in value.

I rank them Posada, Mauer, Soto…

BTW, I love how you tried to reason with him with stats. Karabell (ESPN, for that matter) doesn’t deal in stats.
