    Just yahoo. it should tell you there's a trade proposed when you go to set your lineup. I wrote the details in the note for opposing owner
  2. John_Havok
    You had a chance to mull that trade offer in FC?
  3. John_Havok
    Agreed that it's not all on the drafting philosophy. The player development hasn't been there either with regards to the hit tool, basic base running, basic fundamentals like hitting the cutoff man, when to throw home or hen to throw to 2nd to keep the the guy at first, how to bunt...

    The NCAA would love that though the low minors of baseball would really suffer
  5. John_Havok
    It's games like today that keep guys like Boni employed. He showed every tool today and there's no doubting his physical talents. Unfortunately those talents are extremely inconsistant

    I feel honoured. My thread got copy/pasted to the MLB forum.

    Interesting. And here's a link for anyone curious http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/chicago-cubs-sign-anthony-rizzo-to-long-term-extension-jed-hoyer-theo-epstein-051213

    Holy s***. Not only did he imply that closers are more indefensible than starters, he used Valverde as his example....
  9. John_Havok
    Yeah they ball flying out of there today. Buxton was a HR shy of the cycle
  10. John_Havok
    What can I tell you? It's been that way since the early 1990's so....
  11. John_Havok
    haha, my fiancée's work computer. Don't really have the choice.
  12. John_Havok
    Well I don't use chrome or firefox so I guess that fix won't apply to me. Rats.

    Do you have a link to the article or video where he argued this? I'd love a good laugh
  15. John_Havok
    I don't think it's dumb. Just unwilling to be open minded. Save yourself the headache and IL the guy like I just did. You'll feel about 20-25 baseball IQ points come right back to you.
  16. John_Havok
    Oy. So this is how the scholars felt back in the dark ages when they tried to educate people that the world wasn't flat....
  17. John_Havok
    You really need to stop listening to Pat Tabler.
  18. John_Havok
    IN baseball terms.. yes.
  19. John_Havok
    I had his number blocked the minute he called about acquiring J.A Happ.
  20. John_Havok
    Jesus man, 1330 posts in just over a week? Do you ever leave the house?

    You pigeonholed the #2 hitter on the team. He must be X. He cannot be anything else. He must be X. So therefore, if you aren't X, you can't hit in the # 2 spot. There is no room for any other way of thinking. Yep, I'm the one dismissing other ideas and progressive thinking and logic.
  22. John_Havok
    So is logical thought, progressive thinking and the ability to make an argument using said skills.
  23. John_Havok
    Oh I know, I'm really just arguing against the "it's been that way since 1900 so it must be right" point that metallijay is trying to throw out there. Heck, we used to build things from asbestos since the early 1900's too, sure glad we learned how stupid that was. I wonder how the NFL would look right now without the forward pass.... or basketball without dunking? Sure glad those other sports were able to get past the "it's been this way since X date" garbage line of thinking.
  24. John_Havok
    And your #3 hitter comes up the most times with nobody on base and 2 outs. In reality, lineup construction really matters very little. And making the argument that " it's been that way since the beginning of the 1900's" doesn't mean it's right.
  25. John_Havok
    Well in the absence of a real leadoff hitter, I have no issues with Melky hitting leadoff with Jose and Edwin right behind him. what I would love even more is Lind to keep up his hitting so he could hit third between Jose and Edwin against RHP until Reyes comes back. Against LHP, I would probably move him lower to 5th or 6th.
