  1. Moncada can run. He will try to steal.
  2. I knew what you meant. Thought it was pretty obvious, but not for some.
  3. I will just say this that I probably resemble George Clooney as closely as Billy Beane resembles Brad Pitt. LOL!!
  4. I though our run production would take a significant hit. I didn't put a number on it, but significant enough that I thought it should have been addressed.
  5. Stop equivocating. Your initial panic posts did not say anything about sacrificing "part" of the future -- just the future.
  6. You were the one who coined the term "Cliff". Does one have a chance when going over a cliff?
  7. If they make it into a movie, I would like to be played by George Cloonie.
  8. They must be approaching an abyss, not a cliff. LOL!
  9. When I joined it, there was no internet. If you wanted to protect your work from being stolen, you filed a paper copy with them and paid a fee.
  10. I never said whether it was a contribution or not. I just stated my preference. I rarely click on links unless they are Baseball-reference.com stats. I wasn't looking for a freebie. LOL!
  11. Once a long time ago, I contemplated leaving the legal profession to be a writer, but then I decided that I liked to pay my bills.
  12. This rationalization doesn't hold water. If Pablo worked out, Devers would have been blocked.
  13. And this community is not free advertising for them. Sorry.
  14. I am a member of NY Writers Guild.
  15. i have enough windows open. I don't need to open more. Cut and paste with proper attribution would be appreciated. I have no interest in their clicks and I almost never click on links here. If I see a link with someone saying "an interesting read", I almost never click on it, but that is just me.
  16. You will do better than that, but you will get killed on the exchange rate.
  17. Maybe he was concerned that ARod would hit him with his purse.
  18. I disagree with you in this . I was vocal about it during the off season, and one of us has been proved right.
  19. I guess I had you confused with another "glass is half empty" "future is doomed" poster. But let's be honest and stop trying to tiptoe around the crux of the issue which is not that you think DD "has pushed it too far", but rather that you think he has sacrificed the future for the present. That is not a strawman, and I think your concern in this regard is at best based on a worst case hypothetical scenario.
  20. 4.72 ERA. I think we have to admit that he sucks, and I don't trust him at all in the post season.
  21. LOL! At least he will not steal it like Pablo.
  22. I disagree with your characterization of DD burning up the extended future. Are you so much more knowledgeable about the pipeline of prospects at the professional level than big league GM's that you can precisely predict a cliff in 5 years or so? Also, in the ensuing 5 years are you taking the position that there is no way of restocking the farm? That is no only fatalistic, but it is quite impossible to predict the actions of an organization over such an extended period. If you want to fret over this, that is your prerogative, but to push your concern as a certain impending doom is nonsensical. DD clearly is not in a win it now at all costs mode, because we still have a number of good prospects in our pipeline and some are major league ready now or very soon, and DD did not trade them for short term rentals or missing pieces. Also, he did not sign a big bat like Encarnacion which would have blown the Luxury cap. These are known facts. No one knows what the personnel of the organization will be in 5 years.
