It's a good comparison...like Canzano, Simers has never been an analyst. He tries to establish narratives about players. Unlike Canzano, Simers has some sense of humour, from my experience. I prefer Simers to Canzano. Canzano is on the short list for worst sports columnist, in my opinion, along with guys like Woody Paige, Bill Plaschke and Mike Celzic.
