Jays Stuff:

 

"Over/under on the number of years before Rowdy Tellez is playing in a slow pitch softball game on ESPN?"

 

"That's mean. Five and a half."

 

 

 

"That high on Tellez, huh?"

 

"I didn't get that signing at all. Then again I wasn't wild about Bickford, so the Jays and I don't really line up on amateurs."

 

 

 

"How do you project AJ Jimenez's future in the majors? Average regular? Star? I ask because I cant take Arencibia behind the plate anymore."

 

"Backup."

 

 

 

"How is Sandburg different than Tellez? Both big power guys with less than ideal hit tools."

 

"You just compared one of the draft's best athletes to one of its worst. How do I have to clarify this?"

If i didn't know better i'd say there is a strong grudge there...

From Wiki:

"In 2002, Law was hired by the Toronto Blue Jays as a "Consultant to Baseball Operations" after impressing Blue Jays' general manager J. P. Ricciardi during the offseason winter meetings.[4] Paul DePodesta had recommended Law to him and Ricciardi asked Law's opinions regarding the approaching Rule 5 draft of that year, and, impressed with Law's answers and explanations, offered him a position with the team.[5] During his time with the Blue Jays, he acted as a major league and minor league scout, contract negotiator, and provided assistance to the team's marketing and sales staffs.[2] Law reached the position of "Special Assistant to the GM" before resigning in 2006 to work at ESPN.[6]"

Prince Fielder also isn't very athletic but he somehow managed to compensate and get a triple. Anything is possible.

He's telling it the way he sees it, he's not a athlete but he doesn't have to be. Hit extra base hits and take your walks Tellez
