I hate these types of selections. In his best season, 2004, his advanced batting stats were the same as the JD Drew. Seriously.

Or maybe more simply, absolutely no one will ever tell their grandkids about the time they saw Rolen play.

I argued a while back on Twitter that Rolen is very similar to Matt Williams, only Rolen stayed healthy. There wasn’t much difference. It IS weird that Rolen jumped so quick, it’s almost like he was the “accepted” choice as much as Bonds and Clemens were ostracized.
