[St. Pete Times] Ballplayer Ben

Marc Topkin with the St. Petersburg Times has a nice feature on the Devil Rays' new starting shortstop, Ben Zobrist. My personal favorite comments: "There's no chrome on [Zobrist]," says Rays skipper Joe Maddon, and Rays GM Andrew Friedman, who said, "One of the best ways to characterize [Zobrist] is as a baseball player. And that's a compliment." Gerry Hunsicker knows what he's doing, and Tim Purpura took the bait.
