Freed Catajolanottonson


Hey folk...
I know no one comes here, because there's no reason why anyone other than me would know about this blog. So this is directed to the little voices in my head.
If you've been wondering (as many of you little voices have) who is the Blue Jays' real left fielder, Reed Johnson or Frank Catalanotto, I have a definite answer for you:
It doesn't matter! They're the same person!
I was perusing the Blue Jays' stats today and I noticed the quirk. Here's how they stack up, coming into today:

Johnson -- G: 45; AB:132; H:49; HR:3; OBP:.454; SLG: .492; OPS: .946
Catalanotto -- G: 46; AB:139; H:45; HR:4; OBP:.435; SLG: .511; OPS: .946

Mkay, so not exactly the same person, but their stats are very similar. So far this season, Frank has the slightest more pop and Reed has worked the strike zone a teentsy bit better. They also have stud batting averages, with Frank hitting .324 and Reed bringing a .371 average from out of nowhere. At any rate, they're still the third-best hitter the Jays have, next to Wells and Rios. (Yes, Catajolanottonson, having a career year, is playing better than Glaus, Overbay and Hillenbrand this season.) Still, Freed should be an interesting storyline come October when the Jays are battling the Reds in the Fall Classic.
