from today's piece in the Herald about the Marlins prospects:

 

Second baseman Dan Uggla: Battling Pokey Reese for the starting job, the stocky Uggla -- compared to ex-Brave Mark Lemke.

 

oof. not what you want to hear.

 

The rest of the article:

that's an insult to Mark Lemke. He could play defense and take a walk.

Dude, give it a damn rest. He's a Marlin and we should root him on. Jeez.

You know, if you're going to bother quoting, at least quote the whole damn thing:

 

Second baseman Dan Uggla: Battling Pokey Reese for the starting job, the stocky Uggla -- compared to ex-Brave Mark Lemke -- has hit at every level (21 homers, 87 RBI in Triple A last year), but ''he needs to be more consistent defensively and improve his range,'' Fleming said.

 

Typo is that it was AA not AAA last year, and the article pretty much rips everyone apart except for Hermida.
