Felipe Lopez
JinAZ has done his Better Know a Red feature on Felipe Lopez today. I had already written a Human League for Mr. Lopez, but I've updated it with a new section of impressions about his game since last year.
At the beginning of 2005, I thought he was a bit of a punk, but I couldn't feel more differently about him now. Check it out; I'm sure you'll like me better for it.
Oh, I couldn’t stand him when he first came up. I called him Flippy because I thought it sounded derogatory. I was very slow to come around to him, even when he made the All-Star team. I guess I would have been biased against any player who took over the position of my favorite player ever, Barry Larkin.
