What position would Jesus play?

Rodger Payne links to an article on the Colorado Rockies baseball team going Christian. "Looking for character" - what do you think that means?
In a remarkable article from Wednesday's USA Today, the Colorado Rockies went public with the news that the organization has been explicitly looking for players with "character." And according to the Tribe of Coors, "character" means accepting Jesus Christ as your personal lord and savior. "We're nervous, to be honest with you," Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd said. "It's the first time we ever talked about these issues publicly. The last thing we want to do is offend anyone because of our beliefs."

Jesus would be the stoner dude with the candycane. Or maybe the guy serving at the sushi bar. Or the due who leans over the wall and picks off the ball for a ground-rule double. Or the parking attendant charging 15 bucks per car. Or the due behind homeplate in the rainbow hair with the sign that reads "John 3:14" [or whatever it is]. Or....

"Due" means dude. He's only one part of the Trinity, as I remember.
