Somebody should tell Kevin Mench what happened to the last guy who insulted the organization. Either that or we should leak his vagina onto the internet.

This guy is just HANDING Ian Snell the title of "best player from Delaware". There's no doubt anymore.

If Kevin Mench hadn't mouthed off, I'd never have known that Delino DeShields leads all Delawareans in games. Poor Delaware: she's got five players with 80+ home runs, including three with 95+, but nobody's cracked triple digits. The first state is shamed.

Sorry Kevin, you were awful last year. Try hitting good for longer than a 7 game stretch next time.

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin - you're not making us First Staters very proud.

As for the best player argument, don't forget John Mabry...err, maybe you can forget him.

But really, the best player living or dead has to be Judy Johnson.

Well, I always heard he had a big head...

His mouth's writing checks his body can't cover.

'roid rage - last year's shoe size debacle pegs him as a hGh poster boy as well. And he is a fat head. And a Dee Eye See Kay.

It would've been awesome if that was actually the article's headline.

I hate Kevin Mench and he does have the biggest fat head and he sucks.

And he is a fat head. And a Dee Eye See Kay.

Whoa there. You sure you want to go out on that, uh, limb?

Matsui rivals him for hat size.

Sure, when you throw in the earlobes.

I noted yesterday when I saw this the difference between what Mench is saying, and what Jenkins is saying.

Now, Jenkins did carp publicly in the off-season about being platooned. However, now that the season is actually here, his public stance is:

Jenkins downplayed the situation.

"It is what is and you just have to go and do your job when you are asked to," he said. "That's it. We just have to move forward."

Mench and Wilkerson complained to each other about their playing time with the Rangers last year, so this isn't exactly new behavior.

Mench's comments in Sunday's Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:

"It's good to just start over from the beginning, get a fresh start in camp," Mench said. "It's always tough to start in the middle, new league and everything else.

"I feel more comfortable now. You're going at it together from Day 1. I'm as satisfied as I can be with my camp."
...
"I'm comfortable out there," he said. "We'll see what happens. Nobody has talked to me about that situation since we talked at the start of camp. If they rotate everybody through the lineup, then that's fine. You get your at-bats and stay fresh. I just want to play."

I wonder if someone took him aside between Friday's interview and Saturday's interview...

Great, so less at-bats for Corey Hart. Thanks a ton, Kev.

To be clear, I was responding to this from the above-linked article:

"I'm not running a strict platoon in left field, where one can't play in right field. That's my job, to make sure all of them get their at-bats. If you're producing, you're going to get more at-bats. It all depends on the individual."

While Mench will play in right at times, Yost said he would not move Jenkins out of left.
