John Kruk is not smart
Guess the Krukker's pick for the most valuable player in the major leagues.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Did you guess Chone Figgins? I know about Bonds and Pujols and all those guys. But they show up to the ballpark every day knowing they're going to play and where they're going to hit in the order. Not Chone. He has to take a few grounders all over the field, and then find some time to hit. If you think that doesn't sound like a big deal, imagine going to work every day and not knowing what your boss will have you do that day -- but you have to be prepared for all of it. If there's a more valuable player in the league, then I'd like to meet him. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...ge=kruk/040924

Re: John Kruk is not smart
I was sold on John Kruks intelligence in that All Star game in that at bat against Randy Johnson when he got buzzed inside on the first pitch.
Kruk who is not a switch hitter immediately turned around and batted right handed for the rest of the at bat. Anyone intelligent person would have done the same against the big unit. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: John Kruk is not smart
Kruk is a fat POS and I wish they would take his stupid ass off of ESPN and send him back to Fox. This is the same guy who thinks Schilling deserves the Cy Young solely because he has more wins than Santana.

Re: John Kruk is not smart
That was Larry Walker, not Kruk.
The year Johnson threw a ball over Kruk's head, Kruk proceeded to bail out on three straight pitches and K. It actually changed his batting stance and approach for a while afterwards, it was also the year he was flirting with .400 at the AS break, but his avg. took a dive after the AS game.

Re: John Kruk is not smart
Among all the Minnesota haters on ESPN he is the worst. Hey Krukie, I haven't looked at the standings recently, what happened to your darling Indians? Oh, and the notion of even considering Schilling over Santana is just ridiculous and completely east-coast biased. Besides my bias against him because of his bias, he just doesn't know anything about baseball. BT just keeps getting worse, its gotten to the point where Peter Gammons is the only one worth listening to on the show.

Re: John Kruk is not smart
Kruk and Walker were both buzzed in all-star games by Johnson. Kruk freaked out and immediately struck out. Walker, always a classy guy, handled it much better. He flipped his helmet around backwards and switched to lefty which was hilarious.
