classic:

"If that [hitting Nathans] happened [it was because] he run to me, I don't run to him and if he got hit it was because he tried to run behind me and take the bat and that was an accident," Offerman said the day after the incident.

I grew up a Dodgers fan and remember when Offerman was touted a big can't miss prospect who dominated the minors only to become a huge bust.

offerman was a huge bust? he spent like 15 years in the majors.

for the Dodgers yes he was being touted on baseball tonight, in baseball weekly etc as a virtual lock to be rookie of the ear and a eventual superstar and then he got to the majors and forgot how to field.

edit: I just looked him on wikipedia and he did go on to have a pretty good career so huge bust was overstating things. it just seemed like it at the time

yeah and those sources are stupid - la prospects were always overrated because they had a team in albequerque where hitting numbers were super inflated, plus la won like 10 ROY awards in a 20 year span
