me running out of patience with a rather long series of MC/SSI supercilious posts from one guy who comments on my material a lot more energetically than he reads it.
You're right about one thing:  I'm not typically confrontational.  ;- )  Being slow to anger is not the same thing as being incapable of it.

I do agree that it's possible to be a great CF without having great speed.  For example, if a player had Joe DiMaggio-class reactions to the ball -- a knack for reading the batted trajectory from the very pitch itself -- then he might form an exception.   I don't think Joe D himself had *blazing* speed.
I'm not ruling out the POSSIBILITY that Gutierrez is a super-dee-dooper great fielder.  It's just that I'm skeptical.
I know for a fact that Gutierrez is not fast, and I know almost for a fact that Safeco makes CF's look good *as Cameron said that it does,* and those things make me suspect that Gutierrez is a bit of an illusion.
But it is VERY possible that I've got some kind of weird blind spot, which is serving as a constant source of amusement for you guys.  :- )
