I was under the impression that if Geoff Jenkins ever got out of this horrible city of Milwaukee that was unfairly plattooning him, he would surely realize his full potential and be an everyday player again and probably bat third with the decent protection he never had with the Brewers and he would definitely be an MVP candidate, guiding his team to the playoffs and never getting booed.

Now you’re telling me, as a lefty, he is not in the Game 1 lineup against a right-hander? Well, this surprises me.

Oddly enough, the cutoff was the player ranked ahead of him, Washington first baseman Nick Johnson, who missed the entire 2007 season with a broken leg.
