I doubt that actually translates in any way that is acceptable but I hope it catches on!

What is there not to love?

I hope its true and that we do indeed get our WMP news of the day. The bit about him having massive holes in his swing and being of about as much defensive use as a rutabaga is true I suppose, and maybe his Japanese club can tune him up, but I have to call out Adam Dunn here. If Dunn can under perform like he did this last season and still have an MLB job, I don’t see why WMP can’t. At least WMP hits the ball out of the park more often and seems full of joy when he plays as opposed to Dunn who just seems to be full of dinner.

WMP for come back player of the year, 2012!

I agree you should track him that’d be awesome

A Willy Mo home run tracker would be excellent.

That would make an excellent feature.
