Funny quote

Gerald Laird hit a pair of two-run homers off the Cubs' Jason Marquis on Wednesday.
Not bad, but we're still waiting to see what he can do against a major league pitcher. Laird is batting .423 with four homers in 26 at-bats this spring.

Now that's pretty funny.

I thought you were going to post Jim Tracy's quote about Chris Duncan.

6-foot-5, 275-pound Pirates masher Brad Eldred has caused a stir among a few AL teams this spring with his .784 spring slugging percentage. "He's taken a step forward," says one scout. "He's starting to hit good fastballs. I've seen him against guys throwing 92-93-94, and he's gotten to it." But the Pirates are in no hurry to move Eldred, even though he's blocked at first base by Adam LaRoche. They've even tried him in right field this spring, and manager Jim Tracy says: "I've seen much worse
playing in the major leagues."

--P--

Dunc Playsleft....

He also played 24 games in right last year.

It was also a joke. He wasn't directly addressing Duncan (or maybe he was?).
