We all have a player or two in any given sport that we irrationally like, despite sucking ass (i.e. COA loves andra davis). Who are some of those guys for you? For me:

-Tim Couch
-Kelly Holcomb
-Kenard Lang
-Paul Bryd
-Einar Diaz
-Eddie Taubenesee
-Daniel Gibson

Brandon Fuss-Cheatham

Remember that bum? He was so terrible, you couldn't help but cheer for him. How the fuck did he get to play D1 hoops?

^^^I second Stubbs... and Ben Broussard.: thumbup:

actually I really like Stubbs as a #9 hitter. I love the speed game and thought he was terribly underutilized by Tito.

I dunno his game didn't translate very well, didn't shoot it with confidence. I know he averaged like 30 ppg in high school. I saw him play during the summer a few times and was impressed with him there, seemed much more in his element.

Scott Hatteburg (the only player in MLB history to hit into a triple play and hit a grand slam in his next at-bat, and the guy who was released when Jay Bruce came to the bigs).

Daniel Ray Herrera (the undersized lefty with a true screwball for an out pitch)
