This Nook will be out in the open all year
2007-01-23 10:14
Washington manager Manny Acta has declared that the estimable Nook Logan will be his starting center fielder in 2007, according to a Washington Post story. "We need to play better defense, and we will play better defense," Acta said. "Nook is a big part of that. That's a premium position. You have to cover a lot of ground in center, especially when you play at RFK. That sets the tone up the middle. I think he'll be a tremendous boost to our defense." That's going to have to be some really good defense to make up for Logan's career OPS+ of 78. Even Juan Pierre is at 86. Logan has two home runs in his career, both at Coors Field.

What would Frank Robinson do?
vr, Xei
Unless, of course, this is his way of motivating Ryan Church . . .
I am curious to see if this really happens, and if Acta sticks with Nook or not. At least he isn't using Nook as the lead off guy . . .
I'm fairly sure that "n-oo-k" is said roughly the same way that "Nuke" would be. The name is pronounced like the word "nook", or rather, "n-uh-k"; ie, something that is frequently paired with a cranny.
In other words, the name is pronounced in a way that is precicely unlike how it is spelled. For what it's worth.
