    Wada could be a rather interesting option to take a flier on.
  2. Abomination
    The vesting option is a reasonable price, so I don't mind that. The no trade would be a larger issue.

    Heh, I LOVE the steamer prediction for his rate stats, given it only expects one plate appearance!
  4. Abomination
    Math courses too. I marked and ran labs for a few, and I can't tell you how disturbing it was to see finance majors who were incapable of doing McDonalds skill testing questions.

    You may find courses you liked in HS you hate in university, and vice versa. Sometimes the teacher / prof makes all the difference too. I agree with kcjaysfan, some of the courses I enjoyed the most were physics, and I wasn't a physics major (I took a number of them for fun, seriously). Also, the boundary between some of the upper level math and physics courses kind of gets muddied. Whether you consider a course math or physics is often determined by whether you focus more on the underlying equations or more on the physical interpretation. Also, remember that each field has many different branches. Some of those branches you may detest, and some you may absolutely love. In HS you don't really get to see them.

    I actually found that first term at university wasn't too different from HS in terms of difficulty (well, physics was taught a little different since the HS courses used no calculus). The second term though, THAT was a shock.
  7. Abomination
    Yeah, I was actually kind of thinking that you might have trouble condensing it that far.

    Killing myself laughing as I picture Spanky with an Hello Kitty pillow...

    Now THAT is a paper. Nice topic too.
  10. Abomination
    They absolutely do. I love the way Rasmus in particular plays and does it, however at the same time I agree with you that it shouldn't be part of the game.
  11. Abomination
    lmao!
  12. Abomination
    Lol, sorry. Get back to your paper. That's far more important.
  13. Abomination
    You sure?
  14. Abomination
    Lol, you aren't helping

    I said they were both just as valid a position based on a SSS, not equally ridiculous. Regardless, the point is that pointing to a guy's stats in a (VERY) small sample size is idiotic, as you can find examples of horrible stretches for even the best player on the planet. It's just stupid to keep repeatedly bringing it up and laughing at him for it, while trying to draw a conclusion off of it. Sorry, bit of a pet peeve for me.
  16. Abomination
    Of course he isn't (but he's not a 33 wRC+ guy either). Cherry picking the stat on Trout is just as valid as doing it on Goins. They're both ridiculous.
  17. Abomination
    How about looking at Trout's 2011 September / October with his 39 wRC+? I mean, if we're going to be derping with all these ridiculous cherry-picked SSS stats ...
  18. Abomination
    Goins showed pretty consistent walk rates in the minors, so I doubt we'll see that kind of ratio over the course of a season.
  19. Abomination
    I suspect AA is a little scared regarding signing someone at second after seeing Izzy (who was an above average defender prior to last year) flop so badly, and Boni be completely useless (he certainly was never going to be a wizard, but I don't think anyone thought he'd be quite as bad as he was). I can understand Goins being somewhat appealing to him under that scenario. I think if we see anyone come in to fill that hole, it'll be a young guy who doesn't hurt the payroll if he has trouble adjusting. I agree that Drew seems unlikely, but would be an interesting choice. Ellis at his age probably didn't want to deal with the turf, although who knows for sure.

    Heh, Rask just got beat by a knuckle-puck from center ice. Man did that sucker drop.
  21. Abomination
    The long shot part is definitely intriguing. I get a sense though that it isn't Samardzija, but rather involves a series of trades that juggle a number of current roster players. Samardzija may very well be one of the other 3.
  22. Abomination
    Buehrle is only 34 right now (he just seems older), and Dickey is less concerning as a knuckleballer. We really only need 1 more guy we can count on for 200 innings. 2 would be nice, but with the prices this offseason I don't think it'll happen. One is essential. We don't have to surrender the 11th pick.
  23. Abomination
    He's not trying to get ALL 3 or 4. He has 3 or 4 targets via trade.
  24. Abomination
    Yikes at Pelfrey getting 2/11 PLUS bonuses.
  25. Abomination
    It's not an excuse for free agents looking for a long term deal, but it's absolutely one for guys looking to rebuild their value.
