Chuck James

While the Yanks-Mets is in a rain delay, I have the Atlanta-Baltimore game on, and Chuck James is facing Daniel Cabrera.

Man! Is Chuck James a little guy! About same height as Marcus Giles and slighter of build!

Maybe that diminutive size explains the harmlessness of his flyball ratio. As he is not tall all the hitters get too far under his pitches versus that perfect homerun stroke we all envision.

Instead of balls just above the kneecap, James' mistakes are mid-shin.

I really have no idea. I'm just surprised how small James looks.
