Quote of the Day

Don't know much about Nick Punto, whom the Sox just signed to a two-year deal, but I got a kick out of this at the Joy of Sox:
"He gives you a good at-bat" is what you say when a player stays up there for eight pitches or so but finally makes an out. He saw some pitches, and maybe the pitcher worked a touch more than usual, but Punto has no power, so he's not gonna dong ... and anyway, it's still an out. It's the baseball equivalent of "She's got a nice personality".
it's not a popular signing on the blogs I read.

There's also some good quotes at the link about Bard's becoming a closer.
