I can't believe you guys are all fans of Willie "gritty" Bloomquist... He's a *fine* defensive utility guy, and can steal a base. But to me he is the walking definition of "replacement value player" -- meaning the random guy you can find in the minors or on the waiver wire for the league minimum. We're paying him 500K over the league minimum for reasons that defy logic.
