Man... people here are way higher on Cron than I am I guess.  The dude is 24, a bat-only player and had a .319 OBP and .740 OPS last year.  I would trade him any day of the week for a decent SP prospect.

Giving up an out for free is pretty much the worst thing you can do if you want to score runs.

Most teams have weaknesses, some more glaring than others.  Maybe if you're a Cardinals, Tigers or Red Sox fan you aren't too worried. 

So he is throwing a ball 180+ unique instances per week?
