Sounds familiar. All we need to do now is get older, work less, get kids out of the house, then there'll be plenty of time to sit around on TD. Just ask Chief.
Grains of salt, faulty memory, etc, etc, but I recall a fair bit about them pushing payroll well beyond where they wanted to (and/or could maintain) the last few years while their "window" was open, with a purge being unavoidable.
The only difference between the MLB forums, and the KFAN forums, was volume of posters. Both turned into cesspools and are better off not being in existence.
It's one thing to have a high-ish BABIP, it's another entirely to have one that's astronomically out of whack. Danny Santana had the 3rd highest BABIP, of all players in the last 60 years, that had more than 400 plate appearances in a season.
I've thought that about our #5 (...and #4...and #3...) starters too often the last few years. The burn still lingers. I fully expect a complete disaster from Hughes, and will be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't happen.
The onus should always on the person making an unsubstantiated / unsupported claim. Making a proclamation of fact, then playing the "prove me wrong" card without providing any support oneself, is frankly, wrong. If it's no big deal, then there shouldn't be any problems acquiescing when a supported counter point is provided.
