John Kruk: Real Man of Genius

And John Kruk has actually said something intelligent on Baseball Tonight.

While John predicted 30 wins for Randy Johnson last season, he singlehandedly redeemed himself by rescuing a pathetic Baseball Tonight, and supporting Johan Santana as the best left-handed pitcher in the majors.

I have no idea how Steve Phillips decided that Cliff Lee was his pick. Maybe he looked at win totals and said, screw it, he's the bomb. I guess he ignored Cliff Lee's 1.22 WHIP. Well, as the GM of my favorite team, he often ignored a lot of things. How this man was kept on while the Mets let Bobby Valentine go is beyond me.

How this man even got a job in baseball is beyond me.
So after Steve Phillips picks Cliff Lee, Reynolds picks Randy Johnson,(unfortunately, this wasn't two years ago) and John Kruk rescues the show and picks Johan Santana.

Yes, Johan has had a couple of bad starts to begin the season, but he's the dominant left-hander in baseball, and should have back-to-back Cy Young awards on his mantle.

John Kruk saying something smart is like Hussein saying something compassionate.

Savor this moment John Kruk, savor it.
