I was watching the Jays - Padres last night. Gotta admire David Epstein, listed as 5'7 175 ; maybe more like 5' 5" and 150. Career .280 hitter and about 4-5 homers per year. I was hoping the jays would put Mike McCoy in to complete the perfecta - another guy at about 5'7-8", career .270 hitter in the minors. Both have battled and made their way to the bigs despite not being blessed with size... each have big hearts and the intangibles that set them apart.
