Julian Tavarez
2
Had some decent years with Cleveland early on, but it's winding down now. Hot tempered pedestrian middle relief/ 5th starter type. Even though he's actually only in his mid 30's, he looks like he's pushing 60- and has played for so many teams that you believe he was on a club in Prussia with spiked batting helmets. I interrupt this review with a Red Sox fan bitching/ complaining resentful announcement:
A few weeks ago, the godawful Fox team, who have an incontestable bias to the point of "let's get high by smelling Derek Jeter's socks and plant a fat one on fascist Steinbrenner's behind at all times" anyway, showed a Saturday game between the Red Sox and Yankees, which Boston won 11-9 or something. They had a representative of each club announce the lineup cards. NY had Reggie Jackson, who is certainly a Yankee legend, even though he was actually a better player with the A's. Fox had JULIAN TAVAREZ do it. Run of the mill Tavarez who has been there for a whopping total of two undistinguished years. In FENWAY PARK of all places. Not Yaz, not Jim Rice, not Johnny Pesky. Insult to injury
