"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner

Have any of you ever known a person who had a Mommy that never told them they were wrong? They usually have trouble interacting with other humans.

If we could somehow bring the topic back towards something resembling baseball, that'd be great... Thanks.

Yikes, I hope he's okay but the Reds probably played this one correctly.
Arizona won't mess around and let him start if he's not ready, consecutive streak be damned. I'm not saying the Reds 2011 would have been much better with a gimpy Arroyo on the DL for 60 days or more, but as much as Dusty/whoever the decision maker was wanted to "do right" by the veteran, it was a disservice to the team to let him start the year in the rotation.
Seeing as how Arizona has legit playoff aspirations and Arroyo has made nary a start for them, they should have no reason to even consider not starting him on the DL if he's anything less than 100%.
(Referring to Jack Hannahan signing with a Korean team)
Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.

The last page and a half of this thread is why I'll be glad when the real games start. Then I can read all this snark in a game thread every day....
99% of all numbers only tell 33% of the story so when looking at the numbers remember that numbers is plural...
