First Adam Kennedy goes to LA, and now Willy Mo leaves. All our offensive superstars are gone!

Keeping guys who can’t hit or field around seems to be the way of the new CBA. WMP can at least hit the ball a mile when he does hit it. The list of guys on MLB rosters I’d rather watch less than WMP is so long it’d take me an hour to get them all written down. Suffice to day Adam Dunn leads off.

I still remember Wily putting a broken bat ball off the top of the Monster.

I hope you enjoy plenty of success over there, Wily! I feel like you never really got your full chance here.

He inspires awe. I hope to see many a YouTube video of him inspiring it Japan.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see him become a monster in Japan with the raw power he has.
