Jason Pridie is Reminder to Stop WAG Star Prejudice

All this Penn State stuff has me desperate to tackle something a bit lighter, yes? Good.Late this week, my beloved Mets waived utility outfielder Jason Pridie.

That outfielder is always your slightly below average fifth outfielder, who plays good defense, but can’t hit. He also always stays...
