    I'm not sure we would have projected Dozier to be as good as he has become (although I would have expected a higher BA and OBP, but not as much power.) They are tough to compare because Dozier was a college guy who tore up AA (OPS .885) at age 24. Polanco won't get the chance because he will be out of options next year at age 23. He has never approached what Dozier did that year, but then his .725 OPS last year between AA and AAA at age 21 is good enough to make it hard to compare with a 24-yr-old.

    If you're looking for someone to name your puppy after, Buddy Boshers gives you plenty of great possibilities. With Chargois, you're stuck with the nickname.

    Three types of people - those who can count, and those who can't.

    Oh well. All your chicken dinner are belong to us.

    I just hope he starts learning where the wall is before he kills himself running into it.

    I guess Plouffe plays better when his spot is threatened. I'd say that's a good reason to keep sending Sano out there. (There are plenty of better reasons, but we can add one more.)

    I hate seeing guys throw opportunities away, and definitely like seeing them turn it around before it's too late. If Matt Bush can do it, there's hope for Johnny Manziel.

    Let our pitchers get back out there. They'll show you how to produce runs.

    It should have crossed him up. No hitter in his right mind would be expecting that.

    The teachers are teaching that incorrectly now? The poster has probably been ignoring teachers and the online grammar police for years and has no one to blame but himself. There's an outside chance he's old enough to be a big fan of the J Geils Band and can blame this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPAj19vHPNc

    They must not have Rochester Red Wings gear ready for sale in Korea yet.

    I guess that's better than my suggestion, which would have been "scroll faster." I'm not sure if I'm on his list, but that probably would have done it.
  13. gil4
    Nobody could do that. I still think he could be adequate, given more playing time and more experience. He has some limitations with the physical tools, but I always thought he could get quite a bit better with experience. I don't see much hope for Sano in the outfield.

    I was umpiring all weekend except for church Sunday morning - 16 games/26 hours in 2 days - so it really took me a while to remember who I was talking about. That just added to the impact of the humor when I remembered. It never gets old.

    It doesn't matter if he never pitches; it would be worth having him back for the jokes. Maybe he could be a pinch-runner (only after singles or walks.)

    I figured I'd see what Ctrl+W does, since I never bothered to learn it. Now I see why. Alt+Tab is the way to go - just make sure you have a full screen window open that you can switch to. .

    That's a backhanded compliment if I ever heard one.

    We've had one as president (Zachary Taylor) and there's at least one in the HoF (Wheat, although he spelled it Zack), so why set limitations? I know those are old examples, but the name did make a comeback and was in the top 20 for most popular baby names every year from 1992-2003. I'm sure we will see more of them, as pitchers, middle infielders, slugging first basemen (which is what I always thought it sounded like), and eventually as ushers and hot dog vendors.
  19. gil4
    I hope he does. We deal with silly all the time, but I'm afraid we will get another 13 pages of anger if he's claimed (especially if it's the Red Sox.)

    Or, to quote one of my favorite baseball songs (A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request) : The last time the Cubs won a National League pennant Was the year we dropped the bomb on Japan They sure are in danger of ruining that song.

    That sure didn't take long. Did he even get to check in to the hotel?
  22. gil4
    Make sure you keep a copy in the likely event you need it again.

    I think he was pointing out that their strength and weaknesses don't really line up. Tim Raines was a poor man's Rickey Henderson. (OK, not a poor man's. The slightly less wealthy man's...) Usually the "poor man's" description is used for someone who has similar strengths and weaknesses, but the strengths are not quite as strong or the weaknesses are a bit more pronounced. Nunez and Zobrist are so dissimilar that the comparison doesn't work.
  24. gil4
    Thanks. At least it wasn't someone I feel bad about forgetting.
  25. gil4
    We have certainly moved on to new reasons to lament that trade.
