'Chone' is pronounced 'MVP'
Aaron Gleeman is shocked into silence by this quote from John Kruk:
No, not the American League MVP or National League MVP. I'm just talking about the most valuable player in the game today.
This year, I'm giving it to Chone Figgins of the Angels. Where would this team be without him? I can tell you one place they wouldn't be -- in the hunt for a playoff spot.

I know about Bonds and Pujols and all those guys. But they show up to the ballpark every day knowing they're going to play and where they're going to hit in the order. Not Chone. He has to take a few grounders all over the field, and then find some time to hit. If you think that doesn't sound like a big deal, imagine going to work every day and not knowing what your boss will have you do that day -- but you have to be prepared for all of it.
What Aaron? Are you questioning the infallible logic of John Kruk- the greatest baseball mind the world has ever known?
