He meant, someone who's permanently punch-drunk.
I love it - we get "an alternative" for $50M, as if Baker were Mark Blount 
or something. Actually, he' IS Mark Blount, but with less defense, 
shotblocking, and toughness. There was a time when Mark filled in pretty 
capably for us, as minimum wagers go, which isn't something we could say 
about Baker. The next thing we know, Vinnie will be giving us "a warm body 
for practices", so that Sundov and Wolko don't have work out against ball 
boys.
