I'm not saying Rolen couldn't give Robbie a run for his money, but I don't think he made the case in a Jays uniform. I think Aaron Hill could well make the case to beat Robbie - might require a pennant-inducing homerun off a prick reliever to do it though.QJayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581583881150328172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-82025504577550502642009-08-04T12:37:51.853-04:002009-08-04T12:37:51.853-04:00Yeah, the Downs post even prompted me to pick up F...Yeah, the Downs post even prompted me to pick up Frasor and now he's closing.<br /><br />Thanks, sucka!<br /><br />The real GBOAT is Robbie Alomar.Darren Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577092117174508443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-15287078832756874732009-08-04T01:12:00.094-04:002009-08-04T01:12:00.094-04:00Good call on that Downs guy.Good call on that Downs guy.Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08445618400360263938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-52785419726252940072009-08-03T22:33:41.089-04:002009-08-03T22:33:41.089-04:00I believe (almost sincerely) that Scott Rolen coul...I believe (almost sincerely) that Scott Rolen could be looked at as the best position player to ever wear the Blue Jays uniform.

I don't honestly know if anyone was or wasn't - but as "anonymous" above indicated, some people must have thought Wilner was using it seriously, and it appears to have been taken that way. <br />Y'know, when Wilner pulls a Joe Morgan and drops "he plays the game the right way" -- well, what can you say? He must be joking, right?
