Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

The Straw that stirs the [fill in the blank]

In addition to the wonderful news that CPatterson and JHairston signed with Dusty's Reds, ESPN transactions from yesterday also reports the following:

New York Mets-- Named Darryl Strawberry special instructor.

I can think of a few unpleasant guesses as to what he is qualified to 'instruct'.

The fact remains
That he was an incredible talent.  It sucks when drugs take over.  Hopefully this points him in the right direction

One can't help but wonder....
if Darryl will bring in some of his "associates" as "Special Player Consultants".

What a shame!!
Strawberry and Eric Davis were some of my favorite non-cubs when I was growing up.  What a waste of talent Strawberry was.  Him and Gooden both.

Or as Reggie Jackson said
"I'm the straw that stirs the drink. It all flows from me. Munson thinks he can be the straw that stirs the drink, but he can only stir it bad.

Does Soriano's defense at 2B really cost more runs than in LF?  He makes a lot fewer errors in LF since misplays and mental mistakes aren't figured into the stats, but I have to imagine that his mistakes are more physical at 2B.  Any thoughts?  Is there a statistic on this?
