I had the idea that Austin Kearns was going to be the next superstar when he came up in 2002.
I remember when he was going to be the next Adam Dunn but much better. He was going to be faster, hit for better average, would be able to field and wouldn’t strike out as much. I remember this because I drafted him as a rookie in my APBA league.
Well, I am lucky because I had the luxury of trading him. The folks in DC aren’t so lucky. I guess a few of the fans there are a little tired of him already.
