Since there is so much discussion on it....

no need for comments. We have enough here. I was just curious what the results would be.

Out of all of those options I'm going to have to choose 0, but I don't like choosing zero. I'm choosing zero because I think it's somewhere between 25% and 0%, and given that number and the 3 available choices I'm forced to round down.

Thank you, Mr. Science!!!

I knew I should have done it in 15% increments.

That would be weird ending at 105%.

Dude, it's that 5% that makes ordinary extraordinary.

Thats why I chose 50%. I don't think its 50% Ozzie, but I definitely don't think it's 0%.

so should we start saying give 105%?

 

I'm confused

[Balance]

Let's put it this way. Ozzie did not cause the injury to happen. Injuries do happen at every position, and the fact that an injury occurred is no more Ozzie's fault than it is any of ours.

 

However, assuming that it's easier for a player to be injured when he's playing a position at which he's not as comfortable as his regular position, I'm going to assign some of the blame to Ozzie for putting Hall in that position. This is magnified when you look at how important Hall was to the Sox' plans this season, and the lack of a backup plan that comes anywhere close.

YES. giving 110% is just ridiculous and impossible, but 105...now we're talking!!!

This echos my thoughts on this entirely.

It's not Ozzie's fault that he got injured, it just magnifies another "questionable" managing decision.
