Jose Iglesias

[*psychdoctor*]

Interesting deal if it happens.  Iglesias is only 29 years of age and is a defensive gem.

Would you bunt, if I asked you to bunt?
Or would you pout and swing for the stars?
Would you fight, if the team was in a fight?
Would you save our team from this plight?

Would you cry, if we beat the Cards?
Or would you rub it in their face?
Would you be proud, to be a Red?
Our future is in your hands.

You can be our hero, Jose.
You can field away the pain.
You can make us forget about Barry
and bring us a trophy, today.

My bad.  I got confused(blaming it on old age).  I was thinking Julio Iglasius.

My wife is an Enrique fan, that's why I did the pun on his lyrics..

If he and Dietrich both make the team, that might be one of the best infield benches in the league.

I'm nut buying that story.. While I don't question your age, I'm not buying you confused him with "International singing sensation" Iglasius.. lol
Then again you might have.. 
Something sort of interesting about him was that he was a professional footballer until.....
 "His professional football career was ruined when he was involved in a serious automobile accident, due to which he was unable to walk for two years.[7] Afterwards, he said of those years, "I had more courage and attitude than talent." These were sorely tested when he was involved in that car crash—it smashed his lower spine; his legs were permanently weakened as a direct result, and they still required therapy several years later. During his hospitalization after the accident, a nurse named Eladio Magdaleno gave him a guitar so that he could recover the dexterity of his hands.[8] In learning to play, he discovered his musical talent."


That's what I would call catching lightning in a bottle twice..
