Flags at Half Mast Today Boys
"Willits is Angel's new Eckstein"
Oh. No.
I looked up "Eckstein" on www.dictionary.com, I think the definition will surprise you...
Eckstein: noun. gritty, gamer, tough, annoyingly troublesome. baseball player.
I also found this picture next to the definition...
I read the rest of the article, and it was all over the place. He actually didn't mention Eckstein once in the entire article. Usually, if you put something in the title, you should expand on it in the actually text. That's just me though. Oh wait, he did once...
"This is what they needed. Another David Eckstein, with more tools."
I need to make on thing clear: ECKSTEIN HAS NO TOOLS!
He's 5'7".
That's not a tool. No, Joe Morgan, being diminutive in size is not a tool, no matter how much you say it in one broadcast.
He has no arm strength.
No, making what is a routine play from short look like he is trying to gun out a guy at the plate also, is not a tool. It's in fact the polar opposite of a tool.
Zero power.
I can see it now... Joe's brain: Eckstein hit 3 grand slams in one year, that shows me he has some serious power" Fluke Joe, Fluke.
He hustles. Yes. That's correct. He does. So does about 99% of every other mother humping big leaguer. This takes no talent.
And no, this is not even an article about Eck. Or about how much Reggie is like his little twin. Reggie actually is better, bigger, stronger, faster, hits for more power, throws well, and was expected to be a big leaguer. Eckstein sucks. The rest of the article is about where Reggie came from or something. And how his sister could ball him up on the hardwood.
Wrap up: Reggie=tightness. Eckstein=overratedness.

Eckstein's tools are limited to the toothpick and tweezers found in the standard Swiss Army knife. By that I mean he's good at picking stuff from my teeth and taking out bee stingers from my skin (this causes only minor irritation) which is where he belongs--the minors.
Ok...Well since we both know i love eckstein it will not come to a shock that i will respond to such a horrible post haha....You are right eckstein does not have the arm strength that say the new angels shortstop cabrera has but he still gets the job done. Just because he is 5'7 that doesn't mean a thing. He has proven himself by making it to the mlb...If he sucked and had no talent then I am pretty sure he wouldn't have started as the shortstop for the angels and now the cardinals. Not to mention he has now been a part of two world series victories....OH and lastly Hustle does matter. And you are wrong not every player hustles. There are some freaking lazy baseball player-Garrett Anderson ayone? I could run faster than him with a broken leg....Eckstein is good....Definitely not overrated....Just plain good....A good little man!
