It occurred to me that we need a player to irrationally cheer for during spring training, someone that isn't likely to make the team. So I figured we'd have a contest, tell us the player we should irrationally cheer for, make your case in 100 words or less, oh heck use as many words as you want. Now I don't have a prize for this but you'll have bragging rights at very least.
Now I'm not going to suggest anyone, though as a personal thing, I'm cheering for Jason Lane. So give us your choice and reasons why he's the one we should be cheering for, irrationally.

I know, Russ Adams!
Oh… I think I just made myself sad.

No he was just the unlucky one....
No I wouldn’t rag on him for that pick really….lots of first picks don’t work out.

Adam Lowen all the way
because Russ Martin vouches for him.
If Russ says he’s the new Morneu, so be it!

great idea
Dirk Hayhurst is my guy. I’m hoping he makes AAA Vegas, at least.

although Hayhurst has little chance of making the team
I’m not finding cheering for him to be all that irrational. In a truly irrational sense, I’m cheering for Ken Takahashi – he’s old, no one, even the Jays, seem to think he has any chance of being good, and it’s pretty cool to imagine, at the end of your career, going over to the other side of the world to compete in a totally different league and culture as a 40-year old.

Matt Bush
Someone already picked the pitcher turned hitter…so I’ll take the hitter turned pitcher!

i am rationally cheering for millar to not make the team.

I am too
I’m not sure if it is because I think he’s old and useless or because I’ve read the phrase ‘cowboy up’ too many times already this spring.

Can we save Cowboy Down for the day he gets cut?
Or did I just ruin it?
