Those nerds are picking on Willie Bloomquist again

February 7th, 2012 by nathan joyce

Ran across this item, making a comparison between Willie Bloomquist and the band Pavement, which had a cult following in the 1990s.
Actually, this link discusses the article that makes that comparison.
It’s an interesting argument, as those from Baseball Prospectus often are. If you’re a Bloomquist fan, you probably won’t enjoy it.

He’s been in the show for ten years. In the past two years he’s played six positions. So many teams carry twelve and thirteen pitchers now and it pushes position players off of rosters. He can play any outfield position and the two middle infield positions and not kill you and find ways to win a game here or there.

There are a whole bunch of old farts that never made it and a bunch more that want to who would trade places with him.

His team was in the playoffs last summer and he played an important role.
