Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Monday, February 27, 2012
A look at the Washington Nationals’ third baseman of the futu—oh wait, I was traveling this weekend, did I miss any big Nationals news?
The Nationals will find a place for Rendon because of his bat. Nationals scouting director Kris Kline called him “the best hitter in the draft” last year. When asked about Rendon’s swing, third base coach Bo Porter smiled, shook his head and said, “Ooooh!”
Last week, Porter threw batting practice to Rendon, and after Rendon sprayed line drives, Porter approached him. “I had your swing before the accident,” Porter said.
“What accident?” Rendon asked.
“I was born,” Porter said.

1. Double-Spin Mechanic Posted: February 28, 2012 at 11:25 AM (#4070216)What does this mean?
That Porter has done lots & lots of drugs, apparently.
It means that Gil Hodges didn't escape the wheel of samsara.
Anothy Rendon is so impressive, he is multiple people?
Do you mean the real scouts who watched him play games and determined that he is a good baseball player or the ones in your imagination who submitted reports saying, "Hits line drives in BP. This is very rare and impressive. Take him!"
Porter was born before Roe v. Wade?
Porter's mother had a very uncomfortable pregnancy?
Worried about confidence issues?
