What Happened to the Player in 2013: Grey goatee, power alleys, and crows feet in tow, he seems to be trying to look like a dad in a Cialis commercial. Whether or not he is pursuing a second career in male enhancement commercials is yet to be determined.

Strengths: Purple and teal pairs well together like few other things in this lovely world. You’ll surprise your friends, who like me, never even knew that Troy Glaus was on the D-Backs. Glaus is a fun word to say because it rhymes with many other words like house, mouse, moss, toss,  and even couch. I love Troy Glaus!

Weaknesses: 25 is Barry Bonds’ number, but the name isn’t Barry Bonds, it’s Troy Glaus. I love Troy Glaus!

Overall Future Potential: 6; Troy Glaus hit 47 homers in 2000, which is the most Hank Aaron ever had in a single year. Who doesn’t love Hank Aaron?!

What Happened to the Player in 2013: Roberts played his first full year in Tampa Bay in which he didn’t play very many games. His Tattoos Above Replacement remained elite. He signed a minor league deal with the #Cubes last month.

Strengths: If you have an absurd amount of tattoos that you’re embarrassed by, just throw on this shirsey and tell everyone that the tattoos came with it and obviously aren’t permanent.

Weaknesses: That’s not how tattoos work! Silly internet consumer.

Overall Future Potential: 6; high energy shirsey off the bench

System Overview:

Not to be outdone by the other impressive NL West shirsey systems, Arizona’s organization boasts an enviable collection of purple and teal masterpieces. This group of shirseys brings back vivid memories of the good ol’ days in Arizona when World Series games were being won and Tony Womack was scampering around second base. Matt Williams mega-derp sits atop this list for many reasons, the biggest of which is the screen printed buttons. SCREEN PRINTED BUTTONS. Jake made a good move getting this shirsey despite never having the balls to wear out outside of his dorm room. I don’t blame him, though. Any Randy Johnson shirsey on any team at any time in any place in any social situation with any pair of pants is a good choice, and that’s why it’s the number two prospect in this system.  Augie Augie Augie Augie Augie this the 7th best Augie Augie Augie. And most importantly: We love Troy Glaus!
