Who is the slowest current major leaguer? (1 Viewer)

[Eephus]

Benjie Molina - stretching out a stand-up single

Jim Thome - two speeds: walk and home run trot

Rafael Betancourt - you can go out and buy a hot dog between pitches

I'll add Big Sloppy and Jorge Posada to the list.

Oh yeah, almost forgot Dunn.

Thome's the only one on that list I've actually seen get hurt because he had to run (last season vs. Cleveland). He wins.

Konerko

All wrong. It's Mike Lowell and it's not really close. He is the invisible GIDP. They cut to commercial before he touches 1B.

How can you lead the league in doubles and be the slowest person? He's certainly slowish but he doesn't compare to some of the old geezers mentioned.

Its unbelievable. I complain about him every game I see him. They can complain about the Yanks/Sox all they want, but nobody is in the same stratosphere as Betancourt when it comes to slowing down a game.

Boog Powell.

Konerko

Slowest professional (non-Andre the Giant) athlete I've seen.

Maybe not the slowest, but everytime i see Troy Glaus run i'm afraid he's gonna tear both his ACL.

Nobody like him. Any discussion of rule changes to speed up games should start with this clown.

I would agree, generally. But after watching him today, jesus, he certainly looks the slowest.
