    Oh, I'm sure someone tried to do a real analysis. But the one that was used in the board room was the one quoted above. When Perry Minisian and AA put their heads together, all rational thought is sucked into a vortex of anti-knowledge.

    I'm pretty sure it was something like: 8! + Ace + VETRIN + WINDOW OF CONTENSHUN = 20 game winner = would acquire at all costs
  3. Nox
    Very possible. Could have been a FanGraphs chat last year that I'm remembering.

    I know Szymborski said a while ago on Twitter he had no f***ing clue what to do with Dickey.

    http://www.piratesprospects.com/2012/06/updating-the-trade-surplus-values.html Decent public look at prospect values based on BA rankings.

    Favourite gif so far this year. Someone needs to send it to The Fat Greek.

    I'd like to point out that I advised NJH to take Zunino with his first pick in the DDL farm system draft. You're welcome.

    Well, it would appear you're getting your money's worth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsqJFIJ5lLs

    Jesus. How did you live without posting? This past month you've been going at a 2012 Fatcow on a freshly opened Fun-Dip pace.

    Look, don't sass me here. I'm not in the mood. Youk is a douche nozzle of near unprecedented proportions. Not only that, he plays in Boston and has killed the Jays for years. JP was always a top douche prospect in his own right but it took him awhile to overtake the body of work Youk has put up.

    So crafty. I can't wait until he's tapped to replace Gibby mid season.

    Was "GordieDougie" your first account on the old board?
  13. Nox
    It was Wak that puppet-mastered this grand trolling wasn't it?

    Bruce Tallet's post gas canning "Balls to the wall" interview (coming minutes before his impending DFA) was also one of my favourite moments of the AA era.

    I see we feel very similarly about this.

    How can you hate the originator of a top 5 board meme?
  17. Nox
    Well Clay Matthews went to USC (was a big fan of the program before the douche Kiffin took over) so that's why he's not on the list.
  18. Nox
    Fun fact: JP Arencibia recently passed Kevin Youkilis for the coveted #1 spot on my list of most hated professional athletes. Carry on.
  19. Nox
    Yup, it has found it's way here. Ban this idiot plz.
  20. Nox
    Unless he becomes Craig Kimbrel, his being a reliever makes this all but impossible.
  21. Nox
    I also reported him.

    I know I trashed Yan Gomes the other day buuuuttt I just looked and his contact rates have improved nicely, above league average even. He might not be useless!! (Though obvious SSS caveats apply). +1 to all things said in this thread by others re: trading young, controllable position depth for relievers. Just lol.
  23. Nox
    oh my

    Not sure that's a fair description. This is accurate. One of the things Taleb goes on ad nausem about is having skin in the game. I don't think it's a major problem in baseball with executive pay structures. GMs don't get multimillion dollar bonuses for short term incentives (like making the playoffs for one year or something like that). There's probably enough downside to failing. I would like to think Ruben Amaro won't be hired again once he gets fired in Philly. Other teams will be able to see he ran that franchise into the ground and won't extend him a GM job. The asymmetry isn't the joke that it is in other disciplines. If AA gets promoted after this debacle, I retract everything above.

    Hilarious logic. Far from it. There are plenty of really, really smart people in baseball. But there are enough left over from the previous generation of shallow thinking idiots that perceptions like those that you choose to promote on here run rampant enough. There's nothing wrong with calling ******** for what it is. Do you know why short pitchers don't work (as well)? Do you know why?! Physics, that's why. (more to do with optics than the length of limbs too). Simple, Newtonian, deterministic physics. If I feel like embarrassing you later I might post an article or paper showing as much.
