Remember that time we thought it was fine that Yadi didn't hit 'cause his defense was so good?

That was cool.
It's really remarkable the similar career trajectories of Yadi and Ozzie. Both defensive masterminds at crucial positions from very young ages, who over the course of their careers with the Cards more or less willed themselves into becoming good hitters.

I will never, ever get over Yadi's "hollow" batting average.

Long ago, on a message board far, far away, I made the case for Eli Marrero over Yadi.

Remember when people advocated trading Yadi so Bryan Anderson could take over?
