I wonder exactly what John Kruk's role with ESPN is supposed to be. Is he supposed to be a guy who intentionally sounds like an idiot so that people will talk about ESPN-- and how much they need to fire John Kruk?

Maybe he just wants to be different and unique, and likes to see people's reactions to things he says. A lot of people in baseball do this, baseball MVP voters in particular.

I say this because of his picks for MLB Most Valuable Player and Most Valuable Pitcher:

Most Valuable Player: Chone Figgins
Most Valuable Pitcher: Brad Lidge
