Justice said,: "I've got a lot left," he said. "Last year was based solely on injuries, no doubt about it. I still have my bat speed
and still have my defensive skills...."
Oh really?

Don't you love it? Dave is to defense as the Mets are to winning. They will be a perfect match. Yanks get a solid player, Mets get an idiot, save a million bucks and think they got the better end of the deal. DOH!

Well, Justice isn't exactly a Gold Glove in the outfield, but he's not Jose Canseco either.

What defensive skills is Justice speaking of? He has never, ever been ranked in the top 25 in defensive outfielders at any point in his career. His bat handling comes and goes to.
Ventura is twice the player Justice never was. He may have some current health problems, but this is just a dumb trade.

"Bat speed and defensive skills"?? Where was that interview conducted -- At the Airport lounge at 3:00AM??
The only skill Justice has left as far as I can see is escorting bimbos through airports.
