RP - Billy Wagner - Team#1_The Favorites

The Save is losing its cache, but only on paper. A close game and a hard-thrower and a free-swinger is still as exciting as a baseball game can get. aside: exciting is not always the goal.

The save situation is charged. Billy Wagner is charged.

Wagner's frame suggests one idea: foundation. His legs are short and thick, suggesting the pylons of a pier. His feet are small, suggesting stakes driven into the dirt of the pitching mound. His proportions suggest a skinny man of six-foot-four condensed height-wise into five-foot-eight like a canned SPAM. His arms are dense and short, suggesting speed boat propellers.

His fastball suggests a piece of debris caught in a speed boat propeller and spat out angry.
