He is grinder, personified. Do you suppose that wise man, Joe Posnanski, could prevail upon Eric Wedge to put together a Top 15 Grinders List? (Those of you with math skills will recognize that I have laid a trap for Sugar Daddy Wedge: If I had said "Top 25 Grinders". he could've said "the whole 25-man roster". This'll force him to choose...I should be ashamed of myself.) Tim, you are correct to call me out on Jamey. He is grinder, personified.

And Clay be careful what you say about Jamey...he's an all star grinder. Something about your 'logic' doesn't work Matt. And Clay be careful what you say about Jamey…he's an all star grinder.

So if there are 30 teams, each team should average 3.33 players on that list. If you are lower than 3.33, it means you are one of the below average teams. So, I guess that makes the Tribe one of the better teams in baseball, right? Actually, Shin-Soo Choo made the list, too, at number 68, giving the Indians 4 in the top 100.

A .240 hitter who strikes out once every three at-bats is ranked as the 38th best player in baseball? Only in America, folks. Meanwhile, a pitcher who went 22-4 and won the Cy Young is ranked 23 slots lower? I don't know who Joe Posnanski is....but he sure doesn't know baseball. Frankly, Victor is ranked much too high, as well. Remember, we're talking ALL of major league baseball, here. Not just the AL Central Division. You're really telling me that of 30+ teams, Grady Freakin' Sizemore is the 38th best? Wow. Just wow, Joe. That's hilarious.
