You'd probably miss more than half. You could look into getting a VPN to hide your location and then just getting MLB.tv, but of course you are adding another subscription cost

Stoltz is a great resource for SAL guys, but as you say, he tends to end up being overexuberant about them compared to other players

I hope their grad students organize before I arrive

I like that the art of team building involves preparing for all kinds of contingencies that are broderline random - weather, injuries, etc

My generic lineup against most righties and lefties CF - Eaton (L) SS - Alexei RF - Garcia DH - Dunn (L) 1B - Abreu LF - Viciedo 3B - Davidson C - Flowers 2B - Beckham I'm torn over whether I want to flip Dunn and Abreu. The best thing about having Dunn in the middle of this lineup is it takes away the other team's ability to bring in a really tough RH reliever and mow through all those young righties. Another setup I kinda like is Avi batting second w/ Abreu batting third, Dunn fourth, Viciedo, Davidson, Ramirez, Flowers, Beckham. I'm imagining that we get rid of Keppinger but are unable to trade ADA for the purposes of this conjecture. Bench: Konerko - DH, 1B Gillaspie (L) - 3B, 2B, 1B, LF ADA (L) - LF, CF, RF Nieto (S) - C QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 27, 2014 -> 11:48 AM) .280/.350/.481/.831 is not tearing up the minors, especially the PCL. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/l...amp;id=3219ab1a He posted a 117 wRC+, which is league adjusted FWIW. 108 wRC+ in MLB. His wRC+ was right about exactly where guys like Kolten Wong and Chris Owings were

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 26, 2014 -> 09:04 PM) The left swipe for Google Now is nice, but I can't live without the customization on Nova. I get the transparent status bar and navigation bar with Nova, that's enough for me to not use GEL. Yeah, chances are that I will end up returning to Nova after a while. I'd been using a fairly heavily customized setup on Nova, so switching back to something more vanilla is nice. I'll probably get bored of that soon enough and come back to Nova or use one of my custom ROM's Sense themes

If you know you'll have pitching depth to trade from a year from now, why sign a guy? Just have your pitching depth and your money and there is no need for trades

To me, the main thing Wong has (other than LH bat, which is important) is not so much talent as it is track record. Semien's never been bad, but he's only spent a few months on the legitimate prospect radar. Too much uncertainty.

I love snow blowers. My friend lost a finger in one, though.

If I could be around Adam Dunn, I'd be thrilled to be in his presence and I sure as hell wouldn't incite a crowd to root against him

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 25, 2014 -> 02:08 PM) (In front of Dunn) "It's so discouraging to see Dunn back." (All fans cheer) Wow. That embarrasses me. What a bunch of dickheads

QUOTE (Brian26 @ Jan 25, 2014 -> 12:44 PM) Exactly correct about the 10am seminar. The guy that asked Robin if he had a pulse was out of line, and Hahn's response pretty much was perfect. Any transcripts available?

He makes this year's team better and if he has a decent first half he suddenly becomes tradeable for actual players

From personal experience, I can tell you that you don't have to do any paperwork in most states if you want to trade stereo equipment for a Glock via craigslist

Duke, you now simultaneously really, really don't trust your fellow man to the extent that implementing your worldview makes you more likely to die while also trusting your fellow man enough that implementing your worldview will make you more likely to die -- I point out the "you dying" part because I assume it is the part of most interest to you FWIW, I'm lukewarm to MADD too. I am of the belief that much of what leads to drunk driving is trying to restrict access to alcohol -- most chronic drunk drivers start drinking and driving before they are of legal age to drink. Many start drunk driving in an effort to hide the fact of their drinking. MADD has become as much anti-alcohol in recent years as it has anti-drunk driving, at least on an organizational level. There are certainly evils to beware of when it comes to alcohol, but attempts to restrict access just lead to more problematic consumption habits. Imagine if the majority of the average college student's alcohol consumption wasn't done with the interest in getting drunk as quickly as possible in an interest of remaining out of sight of authorities. The most common denominator of countries like us that are doing much better at preventing DUI death is the fact they have a much healthier overall alcohol culture. They all also crack down on DUIs, but in different ways -- some try to catch everyone with a minor punishment while others have mandatory prison sentences. It is all made easier by healthier general consumption. When I mentioned Australia and UK earlier, they both drink more alcohol per person than USA yet have much less of a problem with drunk driving. Many have speculated that this can be attributed to the relative non-restriction of access to alcohol. If it's always there, you won't go crazy to get it
