I think Baggy would rather not be on the roster and limit the teams bench options if all he could do is pinch run... if he is healthy enough to swing a bat he may be a bench player, but if he can't...

That's because John Kruk is a former mediocre 1b who is infinitely jealous of the baseball player (and the man) that Jeff Bagwell is."I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The in between is...
