Everyone is going ga ga over Jason Bay--he seems like a great person and teammate, and a good defensive outfielder, but with a below average arm. He is among the leaders in strikeouts, can not hit a slider on the outside corner, always tries to pull the ball no matter where it is pitched, and does not bend his knees to go down for a low pitch--like Papi and Lowell, he hardly ever goes with an outside pitch to hit to the opposite field--Papi could hit the wall so often if he would try to hit those outside pitches to left. As far as Bay, I think he will want too much $$ for someone with many deficiencies.
