That also means in the month of September, he added 1 fWAR to his total, which is highly encouraging.

Adley. Rutschman.

Potentially controversial point of view: Machado is a consistently better player than Harper.

In fact that calendar has a very interesting event on July 1, 1982 that matches up nearly perfectly with what Blasey-Ford described. The prosecutor Republicans brought in to question both parties thought it interesting enough to question Kavanaugh about. Oddly enough, when she started that line of questioning was exactly when Lindsey Graham had his little tirade, and the committee never went back to her after that to finish her line of questioning. Isn't that all very peculiar?

He's apparently turned it around a bit more than I knew. Still, he's at 4 WAR, Machado's at 6 WAR.

Machado, and it's not really that difficult of a decision. 1) He plays 3B, the one position the White Sox appear to have no answer for in this rebuild thus far. 2) He's produced like a franchise caliber middle of the order bat this year and most of the years of his career. 3) Harper is going to make more, and IMO carries more risk. He's had an awful 2018, he's produced more than 5 WAR in a season exactly once, and I feel like he's getting the attention he is on name recognition. I'd rather sign the 5-6 WAR bat to a 10 year, $350 million deal than the 4-5 WAR bat to a 10 year, $400+ million deal just because the latter is a lefty power hitter with name recognition.

I have no doubt in my mind that you are correct.

All reasons that any vote confirming him to the Supreme Court should be delayed until the investigation can occur.

Hyperinflation ftw!

All of the players you mentioned will be 25 or younger next season. That's really quick to write them off.

And you'd've been one of the first ones railing against the incompetence of the FO if they had traded the pieces necessary to pull that off and he'd been injured in spring training instead of having an MVP caliber season. That's the thing about trading players, there's no way to eliminate risk in the process.

I think someone did that and found that the Top 3 have a gap, then the rest of the Top 10 have a gap, then it's pretty much a crapshoot. I didn't do any research or find the article I'm remembering reading, so I could be completely wrong, but I seem to remember that.

This is why you look at wins. The Sox are currently 3 because if the Sox and Marlins have the same number of wins at the end of the year, the Sox get the higher pick. 62-99 is a better record than 62-100, for example.

Hopefully they like the Baylor C more.

SLG and OBP need to go up. That's only about an 8% BB rate with an ISO of .129.

Do they really want to lose again?

Actually, yeah, Bryce, get me his information. We've literally argued about Pressley before and while I've donated to Beto (because fuck Cruz), my time is more valuable than my money to me, and Beto doesn't actually reflect my values, he's just "not Ted Cruz". I'll give money (and a vote if I had it) to that cause, but not time. Bryce is actually pretty close to what I want as a rep, and turning Paul Ryan's seat would be great. He's not quite as aggressive on raising taxes on the wealthy as I'd like, but no candidate is perfect.

You sound very establishment Democrat here. "Volunteer for who I tell you to, OR ELSE!"

Who are you to judge that? IMO, AOC needs my support more than any candidate as she's the one who most closely articulates the platform I believe in. Besides, I gave you two other options. I'll help either of the progressives that won their primaries and are having sore loser campaigns run by the Centrist Democrat that was in the race that StrangeSox cited earlier. Andrea Harrington or Rachel Rollins, either will work. I have no interest in helping "Democrats" who are looking out for corporations moreso than constituents. If I did, I'd help Donnelly or Visclosky.

@Reddy, you can get me the info for these two, as well.

The good news is if the White Sox end with the same number of wins as the Marlins, they get the higher pick.

Amend the bill to take out the increase in military spending. Sure, how about Ocasio-Cortez?

Rauner has been absolutely disastrous for Illinois and has exacerbated several of the problems the state already faced by acting more like a petulant child than a governor. I don't trust Pritzker, either, but at least he has some good agenda items, like a progressive income tax at the state level instead of a flat tax. I just don't know that he'll act on them, because the Democratic party talks a big game on the campaign trail, then caves when it comes time to deliver on those promises. That's why they can't consistently win elections. Daniel Biss would've been a better choice for governor than either of the candidates running now IMO.

This is a good article for Reddy to read. I have no doubt his first move will be to try to discredit the source.
