Larry Walker has only been with the Cards since August, but I think that's enough time to evaluate his Watchability.

ON FIELD

1. Defense
   i. Hustle (5) Yes, but I'm afraid he's gonna get hurt. 8 points.
   ii. Agility (7) Remember that ball he caught in his elbow? But he is getting a little long in the tooth. 11 points.
   iii. Catcher? (5/0) No. 0 points.
   iv. Awareness (4) He knows what's going on. 8 points.
   v. Defensive Stance (6) He's a big guy, so not so great. 9 points.
   vi. Pitching Face (5/0) No. 0 points.
   
2. Offense
   i. Hustle (5) He's not going to steal a lot, but I don't think he'll run into many outs. 9 points.
   ii. Batting Stance/Face (6) Three swings before every at-bat. 10 points.
   iii. Power & Average (6) I think hitting in front of Pujols, Rolen, and Edmonds, he'll just try to get on base. But he can hit a ton. 11 points.
   iv. Line Drive v. Fly Ball (3) He does alright for himself. 5 points.
   v. Chatty (3) Meh. 4 points.
   vi. Selflessness (7) Last year, he wanted to go to the playoffs so badly, you could feel it. 14 points.
   
3. Dugout/Clubhouse
   i. Press Conferences (4) Every once in a while you can hear the Canadian accent. Which is always funny. 8 points.
   ii. Quotes (4) He's not too cliche-y. 7 points.
   iii. Chatty (4) He's played with the team less than three months. It's hard to be really chummy quickly, but Larry seems like a fun guy. 6 points.
   iv. Fights (3) He used to be a hockey player. He'll kick your ass. 5 points.

OFF FIELD

1. Personal Hygiene (8) At his age, the shaved head is a good choice. The mullet can be forgiven (Canada). 12 points.
2. Commercials - local (4) No. 0 points.
3. Commercials – national (5) No. 0 points.
4. Commercials - MLB (5) No. 0 points.
5. Dress (5) The only thing I can recall is a Hawaiian shirt. That's not good. 4 points.
6. Rumors (3) No. 3 points.
7. Awards (3) Seven Gold Gloves and an MVP. 6 points.

140 points. Oh, I just hope he can play close to a full season this year.
