or mine, either.

play duda in right field to see if he's a viable solution out there.

i'm always a little bit pollyanna about these things, and an often give ceetar a run for his rose-colored glasses' money on the optimism side. and when i read the full article, it sure as hell seems to me that mike pelfrey is having a heartfelt conversation that mike puma has baited him into for the purposes of a sensationalistic article. "PELFREY DIDN'T BELIEVE IN METS!" who the fuck did? hell, i don't think even ceetar had them picked for the division! the most optimistic of mets fans would probably have been happy with a 500 season. the pessimists would have been floored by one. but, no. it's shocking and appalling for him to speak his mind on the matter. what nerve! what a jerk! shut up and pitch! cut him! he sucks! he's a headcase! go lick your hand someplace else! get rid of him! we don't believe in you, either! ok, some of that is fair. he licks his hand waaaaaaaaay too much. and he probably is a headcase to an extent. (probably to the same extent that each of us is a headcase, btw) but the only thing he did wrong in speaking with mike puma was in speaking sincerely to a man who was clearly not.

well, what if he was doing other illegal things in mansions in beverley hilly, which he has been warned against in the past and which baseball has expressly forbidden? why get hung up on poker?

if the company you worked for had a strict policy prohibiting you from, say, taking photos of various foodstuffs in the office and publishing those photos onto a social media outlet, and there were either implicit or explicit dire warnings about what would befall an employee who did just such a thing, and had previously warned you about doing it in the past, would you still do it? if you disagree with a rule, you challenge it. you don't dumbly break it and hope to evade either detection or consequence. alex hasn't shown that he thinks the rule is wrong, only that he thinks it shouldn't apply to him. caffeine isn't illegal, and is generally safe, but downing too much of it can cause you to fail an NCAA drug test. if you were a collegiate athlete, and especially if you were subject to testing, do you really think you'd be downing no-doze? and i think it's fairly well established that mlb isn't terribly keen on gambling as an off-field activity because of the possibility that it may bleed over the lines and become an on-field issue.

the thing i love about murphy is that he plays the game like i tend to in softball. with a healthy amount of effort and good intentions, but a glaring lack of good baseball instincts. i feel like when i watch murphy, i see him do things that i've done, or will eventually do. that's probably not a good thing, but i love him just the same. every time something dumb happens on the field i find my self thinking "pleasedon'tbemurphy pleasedon'tbemurphy pleasedon'tbemurphy". but it usually is.

But yeah. fangraphs has it as 9.0 WAR. david wright's '07 they have at 8.9. bbref on the other hand, has it at 11.7 WAR. only 19 times has a batter topped that mark - a list comprised of the names ruth, hornsby, bonds, mantle, yaz, gehrig, morgan, cobb, and williams. bbref also has it as the 5th best year since 1900, and 3rd best since 1920. only carlton'72 and gibson'68 were better.

if only all ballplayers were as soft as carlos.

because you'd hate for him to twist an ankle or pull a hammy tonight and get nothing for him. or maybe he just takes a golden sombrero and kicks around a few balls in the outfield and san francisco has second thoughts on whether or not they really want him for the tentatively-agreed-upon price.

can bay play right?
