President Bush likes Chase Utley. Enrico at the 700 Level has the story:

Politico.com has a lengthy Q&A with our Commander-in-Chief, President George W. Bush. As often does when GW is involved, the conversation turned to baseball.

Q: Mr. President, I know you’re going to hate this, but I’m hoping that we may twist your arm and talk about baseball for just a moment. (Laughter.) Mr. President, you’re a Major League Baseball team owner again. Everyone is a free agent. You have a Yankees-like wallet. Who is your first position player? Who’s your pitcher?

THE PRESIDENT: That’s a great question. I like Ottley [sic] from the Philadelphia Phillies. He’s a middle infielder, which is always — you know, they say you have strength up the middle — there’s nothing better than having a good person up the middle that can hit. And Roy Halladay from the Toronto Blue Jays is a great pitcher. He’s a steady guy, he burns up innings.

You’d think a website that gets to interview the President could at least Google the baseball players names for accuracy? U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
