    I have this information for you, but I'll need the same from you first, as a show of good faith you understand.

    Juuuust missed getting that 1st career steal!

    Someone may want to inform the gentleman that the strike zone suddenly may look a little different when you decide to swing.

    I'm actually more worried that after a few days they will be demanding money from us or they'll send you back here.

    A 4-WAR season at age 24 raised hopes that didn't ever quite get fulfilled:

    It would be interesting to read a quote about a batter, "right now, he's just looking to crush mediocre fastballs down the middle. In another week, he'll start working on laying off of sliders in the dirt."

    The rest of his interview was fine, but the part at the beginning bothered me a little. If Antony is the heir-apparent at GM, this is somewhat negative evidence of his 1) being groomed for the role, and 2) having the fire in his belly that would make him already so eager for a GM position somewhere that he's been thinking in depth about how he'd handle the media and dealing with the manager and so forth. It's admirable to have an organization filled with people who know their roles and do them well, but at the same time a little ambition throughout the organization is desirable, and this snippet just seemed flat to me.

    Close enough?

    Looking forward to reading your baseball thoughts.

    I did. You want that I should go on? http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/~huberty/math5337/groupe/digits.html

    I'm no expert on pitching but I don't see how he got anything on the ball with the back leg positioned like that.

    I thought it was 33.141592653589793.

    I took a look at the details of that trade. Kimera Bartee was added to it, late in the 1995 season. Apparently the Twins then left Bartee off their 40-man. Guess who took him in the Rule 5 draft that winter? Those same Orioles. And then what did Baltimore do with him? They exposed him to waivers that next spring and the Tigers took him. Stay classy, Baltimore. That's a long time ago. But these recent roster moves almost makes it sound like there is bad blood between the franchises for some reason.

    He ended that season injured. It's not clear to me that any offers were even on the table for him.
  18. ashbury
    To infinity, and beyond!
  19. ashbury
    Agreed. But Seattle would get much better offers than this for either of the two you named.

    He missed a few games after this incident, then OPS'd about .300 the three weeks afterward. Concussions are nothing to laugh about. But, it's a beauty shot of the uniform number, so I'm posting it here. OK, here's a happier one of him, with delicious bubblegummy goodness:

    He clearly already was beginning to use them at the time, but it's a misconception that eating doughnuts enhances performance.

    If we get such a chance, what are the odds he's been performing well?
  24. ashbury
    And maybe a study like this points to a reason why?
  25. ashbury
    Yes, but I believe that the league has explicitly asked teams to exercise this option a little more freely during the spring (and in the AFL last year), if only to help accelerate the QA process before the season starts.
