Yeah, Sure

Sometimes you really have to wonder: do managers really believe the things that they say, or do they just understand the need to talk up all your players? Take this quote from MLB.com, with Astros manager Phil Garner discussing infielder Eric Bruntlett.

"Eric is very valuable," Garner said. "He can play a position [anywhere on the diamond]. [With his ability to play anywhere,] he might be our best player."

This is Eric Bruntlett's career record.

Bruntlett is a decent enough utility player, but the Astros' best player? That would be this guy. One would hope that Garner knows that.
