From Peter Gammons' column:
Rays manager Joe Maddon maintains Ben Zobrist has blossomed into "one of the most valuable players in the game. I have no fear of playing him at seven positions; he's a switch-hitter and he has power. He's an amazing weapon."
Remember Ben Zobrist? He was traded by Tim Purpura for Aubrey Huff in July 2006.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
