Are you SURE he is the “STUPIDIST” though? :D

When he was a kid, the only tool missing out of his toolbox was blazing speed. He could rake and pick it over at third, but somewhere he got lost in what it takes to be great and develop a work ethic. He is never in great shape and has gotten heavier over the years. I know this because I was an intern in spring training with the Cubs and he was by far one of the laziest players I have ever seen. Had all the tools, and bat speed that was better than Sammy Sosa and Juan Gonzalez. He just did not want to work. But worse, he never wanted to lead and those guys looked up to him, he just did not want to open his mouth. What a waste.

So let me add this.. I have felt that AA has been the best 3rd baseman the Cubs have had since Bill Madlock. (sorry, but I was never a Ron Santo fan. and I met the man) but I have also always felt that he (AA) is one of the STUPIDIST!!! Players I have ever seen! So yes, if he had just taken a little stock in himself & put in a little work, he could have been a hall of famer!

This guy, if pushed could be a real quality player, but he has never worked as hard as he can and he has never been a leader.
