What looks like the season finale of “Forever Giants” went up last month and I didn’t get a post up on it sooner because it was Marvin Benard. Now, look, Marvin Benard played as hard as he could and did his best. He was a 50th round pick out of an NAIA school and played so well in the late nineties that Brian Sabean gave him a 3-year, $11.1 million extension. He did... not really provide much value. A 91 OPS+ over his last four seasons (ages 29-32) and, from what I recall, a lot of swing-throughs on head-high fastballs up and in.
