Jason Bay Is Bad At Defense And Also At Not Hurting Himself

Jason Bay has never been known for his glove ( or hasn't he?), and in recent years he hasn't been known for his bat. So maybe that's why he gave 110 percent last night in trying to track down a fly ball off the bat of Gregor Blanco. A valiant effort, and a ton of glove on the ball, but all Bay has to show for his troubles is a fractured rib. Bay was placed on the 15-day DL today after undergoing an MRI this morning.

My favorite line comes from this ESPNNewYork story, which might be missing a word, and then again might not:

Bay did a full face plant, although he was not aware.
