OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

QuoteHere's the thing. If I had $6 million to spend on executives, I'd spend $3 million of it to hire a Theo Epstein type, and the other $3 million to hire 50 of the best and brightest young guns straight out of grad school at $60,000 a pop. Think about what Mark Shapiro had in Cleveland in the 2000s: a clear organizational structure, with him at the top, and a bunch of future GMs below him buying into that vision, and wildly underpaid for their talent (because they were early in their career).

So, to recap. Don't hire a couple of smart, successful people because their ideas might clash. Instead, hire FIFTY unproven guys straight out of graduate school and watch their ideas coalesce into something beautiful.



and the "best and brightest young guns straight out of grad school" would land for $60K? Sounds like bachelors degree money to me.

Holy shit, that would be some outstanding organizational bloat.  Also, I'm guessing most of these grad school mavens are already employed by BP and would willing to jump for that kind of money.

I took a shit on BP Wrigleyville on twitter and someone replied "in other news baseball news is slow in January and February"

Oddly enough many other blogs aren't sitting there with feces running down their legs because they let some waterhead post about letting Theo walk and another write a paean to Rick Fucking Renteria.

Right. I get that you're scraping for content but you can scrape for baseball content for a long time before you get to this bullshit. Brett or John Arguello breaking down Chesney Young's chance at someday being the next Tony Campana would be a better use of time than this bullshit

Good now the baseball bloggers are going to get mad. Man, I was glad Sahadev left that place. He was the only reason I would click over there anyway.

Well, he definitely isn't a real prospect.

Even if it's probably entirely unfair to write off a 20-year old guy in A-ball.

They're both 6'0", 170, light-hitting, middle of the field (2B/CF) speed guys.

One of them just happens to slap-hit a lot more effectively.

I took a shit on BP Wrigleyville on twitter and someone replied "in other news baseball news is slow in January and February"

Oddly enough many other blogs aren't sitting there with feces running down their legs because they let some waterhead post about letting Theo walk and another write a paean to Rick Fucking Renteria.

Right. I get that you're scraping for content but you can scrape for baseball content for a long time before you get to this bullshit. Brett or John Arguello breaking down Chesney Young's chance at someday being the next Tony Campana would be a better use of time than this bullshit

I would absolutely read that.

Is Chesney Young a real person?

He had a really long hit streak at some point season...wasn't it 40+ games?

He won the Buttpuddle League Batting Title, you pricks. Show some respect.

I admit it, (wholly unfairly to Chesny Young) I get him and Charcer Burks confused all the time.
Okay that second guy isn't real tho

Well, he definitely isn't a real prospect.

Even if it's probably entirely unfair to write off a 20-year old guy in A-ball.

They're both 6'0", 170, light-hitting, middle of the field (2B/CF) speed guys.

One of them just happens to slap-hit a lot more effectively.

From the looks of him, he's got a future starting up a bro-country band.

His name is Chesney Young. He's probably been packing state fair amphitheaters full of TDubbses before he could legally drive.

DPD. Also:

QuoteHere's the thing. If I had $6 million to spend on executives, I'd spend $3 million of it to hire a Theo Epstein type, and the other $3 million to hire 50 of the best and brightest young guns straight out of grad school at $60,000 a pop. Think about what Mark Shapiro had in Cleveland in the 2000s: a clear organizational structure, with him at the top, and a bunch of future GMs below him buying into that vision, and wildly underpaid for their talent (because they were early in their career).

So, to recap. Don't hire a couple of smart, successful people because their ideas might clash. Instead, hire FIFTY unproven guys straight out of graduate school and watch their ideas coalesce into something beautiful.



and the "best and brightest young guns straight out of grad school" would land for $60K? Sounds like bachelors degree money to me.

Holy shit, that would be some outstanding organizational bloat.  Also, I'm guessing most of these grad school mavens are already employed by BP and would willing to jump for that kind of money.

Oh yeah, my baby is an All-American Country Girl
Wearing those tight jeans
We drive down to the river in my truck
Every Saturday night
Drinking beer
Dancing to country music
And I love her almost as much as I love my mama
