An object in motion tends to stay in motion...

[ryanmnelson at verizon.net]

Maybe "energy guy" is the wrong term.  I see him as a "disruptive guy."  He can influence the flow of the game by banging around and being active.  

That said, he does bring relative energy.  Not Eddie House type energy, but certainly more than scalacrappi.
