Every now and then a player gets a bad rap for stupid things he says or does. Or when certain criminal charges are brought against him, and then he gets a nickname like Crazy and gets designated for assignment. This all happened to Carl Everett last season and its a damn shame.
Crazy Carl is attempting to resurface on a big league club by pounding away in the Atlantic League for the Long Island Ducks. He currently has 18 homers and 71 rbi and is top 5 in both categories despite missing some time. So why isn't a team in need of a DH at the end of the season, such as the Angels, going out and getting Carl? It's not as if dinosaur enthusiasts are going to boycott your games because he doesn't believe they ever existed. If gay people remember his comments they might, but you know it's been awhile, I think they probably have recooped by now. One added bonus is that if you sign Carl the chances are good that you can get at least one blowup at an umpire and those are always funny.
So someone please go out and give Crazy Carl a try, Gary Sheffield and Elijah Dukes need one of their hometown boys to help out. They can't provide all of the crazy in MLB all of the time, they need some help.
