Sounds like a changed man. Good read.

Now you're making me miss the guy after reading that.

 

Glad to see he's willing to change his approach as he's gotten older. Hard to believe he's now 31 years old.

“I think it is a testament to his leadership and where he’s at that he would say that,” manager Jeff Banister said. “What I’ve told him is that I’ve seen him play great defense in Milwaukee, and I expect he’s going to play great defense for us.”

When did that happen? Must have been in some bizzaro world where the gold glove infield included Braun at 3B and Yuni at SS.

Manager speak. That's all. Building up egos.

Prince displayed competent defense at times (especially when he was keeping his weight in check), but I'd never say he was "great" defensively.

When I saw him play every day I thought he was ok. When he left I was reminded of what good really was. I realized he only seemed ok because I saw so many years of bad play I didn't even remember what good was anymore. That and I'd have to admit he was so cool to have on the team I kind of rationalized that it wasn't so bad.
