    Hopefully we won't need to because there will be an international draft.

    I hate my current job and just got an interview for another one. How do I tell my current employer I'm taking a day for the interview without telling them I'm taking the day for an interview. I suppose I could lie.
  3. jerichoholicninja
    This stuff happens.

    http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7712916/tommy-john-surgery-keeps-pitchers-game-address-underlying-biomechanical-flaw-espn-magazine ESPN just wrote a nice article about it recently.

    I'm sure Ron will look for every excuse to get Ishikawa a start. Gamel's play at the plate the night before was a convenient reason to not start him.
  6. jerichoholicninja
    For those wondering I was using Ron's exact quote when referring to Travis. I don't care that he hit a homerun tonight, he has no business starting over Gamel.

    I was trying to find some video of him to show my high school players of good pitchers with bad mechanics. What I found from this year he's getting his arm in a better position. The inverted W was gone.
  8. jerichoholicninja
    Because Ishikawa is "this year's version of Mark Kotsay." A guy who has no business being on a major league roster but yet still gets starts over younger, better players.

    Anyone else hear Mat's interview last Wednesday where he said he'd never run over a catcher and probably never would. Liar!
  10. jerichoholicninja
    He wasn't playing where a second basemen normally would play during the shift. He was playing literally Right Field. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like the clip is on MLB.com.
  11. jerichoholicninja
    Anyone catch the play Lawrie made in right field? That's right. The Jays put on a shift that had Lawrie playing basically right field. He fielded a ball just off the foul line 360'ed and threw the guy out at first.

    How is that Bush league? Were they suppose to just quit and give him the perfect game?

    Regarding gambling, you can't have the public thinking the games aren't on the up-and-up. Otherwise what exactly are you asking them to buy? That's why point shaving is such a big deal whenever it comes up in college basketball. If a player or manager has ties to gambling, then the integrity of their play could be perceived as compromised. And do you mean Joe Niekro? There's nothing on Phil. Ya, I guess it was Joe. But the point still is cheating is cheating. You can't overlook it in some cases and condemn it in the other. In the case of Joe scuffing and Gaylord Perry greasing up a ball, I would put that as more serious than throwing games for profit. The rule they broke was put in place because Ray Chapman died after getting hit in the head.

    Why is it that when it comes to the Hall of Fame some cheaters are vilified and others are ignored? Rose, Jackson, and all the steroid era guys are called cheaters and not deserving of the hall of fame because of what they did or supposedly did. On the other hand, Phil Niekro was caught cheating during a game and is in the Hall of Fame.

    From a pure statistical analysis standpoint, you need a sample size of 30. For baseball, it depends what you are trying to look at.
  16. jerichoholicninja
    With the new rules I don't think you'll be able to get anything great in return for a player in the last year of his contract unless it's a youngish player to a team with cash to burn.
  17. jerichoholicninja
    That seems so opposite from how it usually happens where the player takes a huge offensive to being dropped a spot in the lineup.
  18. jerichoholicninja
    Can Carlos Gomez pitch?

    I didn't see it but I just read an article relating to Jackie Robinson day and how there are still very few minorities in manager and GM roles. Dave Stewart had this quote: "What did Jerry Manuel do to not get another opportunity to manage?" Stewart said of the former Mets manager. "He didn't get one interview after he was hired from the Mets. Not one. He had to go to the MLB Network just to stay around the game. I don't want to turn this into a political debate but I don't think these things always come down to race. If a guy is good, he's good. I don't care what color he is. I remember when Dave Stewart was the pitching coach here and he didn't exactly come off as a likable guy. I always liked him as a player but he came across as kind of a jerk. Jerry just really seems like he has no clue from what I've heard him say. Maybe it's just him saying something to fill dead air.
  20. jerichoholicninja
    Anyone else been catching the "analysis" of Jerry Manuel on MLB Network? After hearing the things he says I can't believe any GM ever hired him. He makes Harold Reynolds seem moderately intelligent.
  21. jerichoholicninja
    I would say there's a pretty rich tradition of white participation as well. I wish people would accept that kids just don't care for baseball anymore and stop trying to turn it into a race issue. I would like to know the percentage of Caucasians in MLB now compared to 20 years ago. I would bet the decrease is the same as it is for African Americans. The increase of Hispanic, and to a much lesser extent Asian, players has made the game more diverse ethnically.
  22. jerichoholicninja
    You can say the same thing for white kids too though. Baseball just isn't popular with American youth (regardless of color) anymore.
  23. jerichoholicninja
    Why is this an issue? What about the percentage of Asian players? What about the percentage of Europeans or Australians? What about Native Americans or Aboriginals? The best(ish) players make the majors. The fact that whatever percentage of them are whatever race/ethnicity is random and is more a reflection of demographics than anything.
  24. jerichoholicninja
    Overkill. My true feelings will cause too much trouble on this board but basically what they need to do on April 15 is have a pregame ceremony at every game, maybe a uniform patch and call it a day.

    Like I said in the K-Rod thread, Boston is going to get desperate. They've lost their closer and center fielder for big chunks of the season. They can't just ride it out in a division with New York, Tampa Bay and Toronto. They will give up a lot to somebody at some point and get not much in return.
