A Royal Pain

It's one thing to say "I'm a great player" if you are really a great player. It's another to say it if you're Emil Brown. As if Kansas City doesn't have enough woes, Brown had to tell the press that he is one of the best outfielders in the game. He even compared himself to Tori Hunter, saying

"It isn’t an adventure for (Twins outfielder) Torii Hunter when he dives for a ball and misses it. Then, it’s, ‘Oh, he just missed it.’ He gets the benefit of the doubt because he’s a Gold Glover. But it’s an adventure when I do it."

and to Vladimir Guerrero, saying

"Vladdy can run, and he can throw pretty well. He would be an outfielder, you know, that’s comparable."

Read the article - it's full of deluded arrogance. Hey Emil, if you're so good, why is your team soooooo bad, hmm?
