There are many things that cannot be proven through the eyes of the law, but through the eyes of humanity, they are the law. Thomas Santiago, a fourteen-year-old boy with the carefree existence typical of most boys his age, is accused of committing a series of shocking murders. From that moment on, his life becomes a churning nightmare of death full of questions without answers. So begins Miguel Batista�s thriller The Avenger Of Blood, a heart-pounding ride as the author takes us down into the darkest depths of the human soul, and forces us to question everything we thought we knew about justice and the mysterious paths of faith. As the story unfolds, the mind-boggling mystery becomes increasingly intertwined with the awesome power of the divine, the supernatural powers of a killer, and the stunning reason which compels him to commit these heinous crimes. From scene to scene, through gripping dialogue, the story presents a wide range of colorful characters that portray or reflect the conflict between the law and the truth to life. Is Thomas innocent? And, if so, who, or what, kills by his hand? What does the phrase written in blood, found at every crime scene, mean? Why the strong scent of flowers? The story journeys into the unknown, where there is always an answer, though it may be buried deep inside the most ancient secrets. Page after page, a new mystery unfolds, building to an end without end� A spine-tingling conclusion that forces us to face the horror and the truth: the time of the blood avenger has come� Who will be found innocent, through the eyes of the law? In this thrilling debut, Miguel Batista will have readers questioning their faith in divine justice.

Got that scoop from this article, which suggests that three of the smartest guys in baseball are current Mets' properties, and one a recently departed Met. None are R.A. Dickey, neither.

As the article openly acknowledges, such mental power is unlikely to mean bupkis in the standings.

Figures Craig Counsell is a genius, it explains him still being in the majors.

Chris Carter...how about that..

Most of these guys have another thing in common, they all kinda suck as MLB'ers.

You know what Crash Davis said: "Don't think, Meat. You'll hurt the team."

You don't win 100 major league games by sucking.
At least not too badly.
