Dejan on Bay

More on Bay from Dejan in today's PG. It's mostly about his work ethic, natural abilities, etc. etc. It's also noted that unlike the guys ahead of him in the VORP category (I know, a big media paper talking about a stat like VORP, the secret baseball police will probably drag Dejan out back for that one), Lee (surrounded by Aramis Ramirez and sometimes Nomar), Pujols (in that monster Cards lineup), A-Rod (with Sheffield, Jeter, the newly resurgent Giambi, etc. etc. batting around him), and Miguel Cabrera (backed by Delgado), Bay is mostly alone in the middle of the Pirates lineup. They also mention his improvement in the outfield, and that he's still recovering from that shoulder surgery and his arm strength is finally starting to come back. I think I can actually see Rusty Kuntz glowing when I read his quotes about Bay's outfield play. All in all, it's nice to see credit going where it's due.
