Torres Does not need to take notes. He just needs put up big numbers, so he can cash in on his free agency after the season.

Absolutely true. Bullies use those two words interchangeably.

Trade him for Walt Terrell.

If that's what they want to do, then it's up to them. I don't have any problem with that. Forcing everyone to work into their 80s because you want to take away social security/medicare is a problem. Capitalism is good when people are honest and treat their employees and customers wih respect. The problem is the big guys get too greedy and are solely interested in making a profit and expecting the government to bail them out if things go wrong. A lot of them don't even pay taxes because thy've paid off the government to make tax rules and laws in their favor.

I would be too, but I do not approve of oligarchs making the decisions, nor do I approve of it being done in 100 days (or whatever their ridiculous timeline is).

Steroid injections?

The thought of Kreidler being their starting center fielder is quite depressing.

The Meadows injury is discouraging. He is probably the single most important defender on a team that relies heavily on pitching and he has a lot of upside offensively. A long absence would create a big void in the line-up and decrease their playoff chances significantly.

Montreal is always a good idea.

It is only 3% nationally. I don't even know what a Tesla looks like except for those ugly trucks.

I wasn't comparing him to Torres. I am thinking about what kind of value Keith will have over the next several years.

Are you saying that blind loyalty is a good quality?

I didn't say they didn't know what they are doing. They know more than any of us. What I am saying is that if Keith is a capable defender at both positions, then he would have more value at second base. If he is deemed incapable of playing second base, that is disappointing, not because I think they are wrong but because I was hoping he would be a solid 2B. If he doesn't ever hit for the plus power that is generally expected of a first baseman, that would also be disappoining.

I thought it was Cecil.

worse than Avila.

I don't really have a personal preference one way or the other, but I will say that if STEM were limited to whilte American males, most organizations would fail miserably.

If he is a minus one win second baseman, then he should not be playing second base. On a pitching centric team which will probably be in a lot of low scoring games, -1 WAR might underestimate how bad he hurts the team. I am not sure he is that. Based on last year, DRS says yes, but statcast says average.

Any scientist who voted for Trump SHOULD be ashamed of themselves. The anti-science, anti-education and disregard for the truth becoming more and more prevalent in this country is going to destroy us more than anything.

I don't have a problem with the Tigers moving him to first. I just think he has less value there.

I am less excited about Keith as a 1B than at 2B. Short term, positions don't matter much, but long-term they have a big effect on a player's value. I believe Keith would be an above average hitter for a second baseman for a long time. He could do that at first too, but I am less sure.

The Democratic party is so out of touch. They're a bunch of spineless pussies. They aren't going of help us out of this mess. The people will have to do it themselves.

I was very impressed by Pittsburgh the one time I went there.

I was expecting that anyway. When he didn't make the playoff roster last year, I figured he would be headed for more minor league seasoning at least at the beginning of the year.

There is no reason to trade him, but I could see him being shopped.

This is another thing I thought about yesterday. It would not be a new position for him. I am more concerned about whether he can hit than whether he can play third.
