No, he doesn't.

For some reason, I always think that "The Admiral" is Duncan's nickname.

I've a got a good nickname for Tim Duncan, but I am not sure I should repeat here...

Besides, this is a baseball thread!

I will say I think Steve Kerr ruined the Suns.

What are the Cubs doing with Reed Johnson this year? I was upset that the Jays got rid of him for Shannon Stewart, who went on the DL early into the season. Personally, Johnson is a much better player then Stewart. He was decent leadoff hitter when he was playing for the Jays. With more playing time, I think he could be a strong player.

Reed Johnson really isn't that great. I like the guy, and he's fearless, but he's a fringe level player at best.

bradley will be in RF, and Fukudome will start in CF, if he struggles like he did in the 2nd half of last year, I would anticipate seeing Johnson take his spot

I think he can be a good backup, he's a nice little spark to add to the lineup every few days

I like him. He was a good outfielder when he was with the Jays. I believe with more playing time he could develop into a decent OF. Besides, that goatee he had going when he was in T.O. was killer

Which is another way of saying he's a fringe player. He's probably the Cadillac of fringe players.
