Suddenly Brantley's on the Prince Fielder timeline... Promtions are always exciting. Glad to see some more reinforcements on the way to Brevard, and it sure works out well with WV clinching early and BC still needing some wins!
better? That still really doesn't tell the reader very much or in what context, unless you happen to know what was happening there and why Selig would have needed the escort. Better might be something like this: Selig needed a last minute police escort to get to get to the draft in time for the televised start.
They're going for some more advanced players because they want to fit guys into the next wave of talent that's coming up, talent that can help the Brewers either as players or as trade bait during what the brain trust sees as the present 5-year window to win some titles. Exceedingly sensical.
The Brewers took him as a LF. From the scouting report: Weaknesses: Unless someone thinks he can play another position -- not a common belief -- LaPorta is limited to first base or DH duties in the future. Ummm...
So political banter might get out of hand. It is what it is. Well, the whole of the philosophy of this site is that discussion be civil and not "get out of hand", so I'm not sure what you're not getting.
I love how every couple days it's either Inman or Yo pitching. Nice not to have to wait too long for another dominating performance. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
You're right, Peavey. You're always smarter than everyone else here. My apologies for not bowing to your superior baseball knowledge. Is he not allowed to ask that question? Do you consider it a bad idea?
