The thing with Ordonez was he confounded people for not improving. He had all the hand-eye coordination in the world, it's not hard to imagine he could have gotten more from his abilities as a hitter. I think that's what the Mets were hopeful of, and fans too. He just turned out to be a hardheaded asshole who didn't take to coaching and thought he was a good hitter. And then his fielding went to shit.
