With the holidays past and pitchers and catchers reporting in less than six weeks, it's time for a few more installments of The Baseball Cliché Translation Project. Without further ado:
Manager: "He worked really hard in winter ball."
Translation: We heard he spent a lot of time in Domincan whore houses.
Agent: "He gives 110%"
Translation: He's in the final year of his contract.
General Manager: "He'll be a good influence on our younger players."
Translation: He's spent the past few years beating his drinking problem instead of his wife.
Agent: "He's a Bob Gibson-like pitcher"
Translation: He's a pitcher. He has a fastball. He's black.
