shoelessinva Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 A good pep talk on the mound; calling a superb game for his staff; delivering the hardest high-fives to those that produce; spearheading the cheers from the bench, behind the plate, or as he circles the bases; never being afraid of smacking down opposing batters as they step into the box; always in search of putting a serious physical hurt on an opposing player; giving an earfull to a player who performs well under expectations... the list could go on and on. It simply describes the attributes of the best off-season move that Kenny Williams made before the season - acquiring a LEADER, one who inspires, motivates and goes above and beyond what his paycheck asks to bring a victory! And that, my faithful friends, is what AJ Pierzinski means to this team. We'd be lost without him. So thank you KW and thanks to AJ for commanding these troops so efffectively!

SSH2005 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I see it as more of a team effort, well, minus Marte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoelessinva Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 Definitely a team effort! Great chemistry and the right pieces. But, you just can't undervalue what a true leader means to a team and the significance of his impact to keep us focused and on mission! As a Marine, I understood the value of each and every member of a platoon, company or even battalion. But, without a leader or leaders, we'd have no direction, no purpose and no drive.

We would have been fine with Ben Davis :rolly I wouldn't call him the MVP, but he would be 1 of many. This team is full of great, team players, like AJ.

fathom Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 The biggest upgrade this team had this season was from last year's catching core to this year's catching core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you could argue that the pitching really stepped it up, I agree. Widger + AJ > Ben Davis + Miguel Olivo. If only we still had Mark L. Johnson....
