Regard for Neifi
in [San Francisco Giants]
|
From: radiomd on 6 May 2007 15:11 From the Royals' radio broadcast of the Royals-Tigers game today: Matthews: Neifi's batting average... Let me just tell you that he's 2 for 13. Lefebvre: That's a shock. Matthews: You mean that he has 2 hits? Lefebvre: Yeah. I've heard these guys rag on Neifi before, but this is easily the harshest comment about a professional baseball player I've ever heard during a broadcast. And frankly I enjoyed it. Clearly there's one less "Neifi chicken" in Kansas City than there is in San Francisco; in sum there's nothing to indicate that anyone remembers him fondly.

Well, Neifi hasn't always been someone that one could afford to laugh at. Does anyone remember that back in 1998, as a Colorado Rockie, Neifi hit a Coors Field home run that ultimately wrecked the Giants playoff hopes?

And was probably also the entire basis of Sabean's assessment that he was worth $4 million and a 2-year commitment.

Probably.
