They never saw the guy.

The guy had a great glove, solid power, and got on base as good as anybody in the game. Too bad he just couldn’t stay healthy. He won’t this year, either.

What’s that? Nick Johnson, not the reanimated corpse of Walter Johnson? Nevermind.

It’s not like there is a plan-B if Chris Davis doesn’t work out.

Because of the way he plays baseball, you ask? Nope. Because he has a whole can of chew in his mouth every time his picture is taken. It makes me laugh every time I see him.

In reality the hairline is the least of his problems, it has to be a little frustrating when he wipes his ass and winds up on the DL.

Extreme Receding Hairline is a tragic disease that strikes down many in the prime of life.
