It seems like teams are doing everything they can to protect their pitchers, but it also seems like they are getting hurt as much as ever. Is it working?
Maton has played more shortstop in the minors than anything else. If he can be an average defender and hit at his career MLB average, then that would be great. Obviously, there are a lot of ifs there.
I saw a quote in The Lowell Sun (our local paper) which was interviewing people on the street about the indiction: "After all he has given up for us, we have to show him support in his difficult time". I get that some people hate government and love chaos and think the Democrats are dangerous. I kind of get all that a little bit but it just blows my mind that people actually think that Trump gives a shit about them. How can you relate to someone like that?
Given the turnover this winter, I was surprised they brought Cisnero back. Fetter has his work cut out for him this year. We will find out how much of an effect he really has.
We have gotten too big and too heterogenous for that and many (includung some of the most influential people in the country) take advantage of it by creating division and hatred.
I would bet that the majority of people had very little conception of what the question was asking. Americans are bad at math and even worse at probability.
Boycotting a popular product isn't going to work. They already figured out that maketing their product in a way that appeals to liberals will be a net gain. That is the only reason they did it. They aren't doing it to be woke. They are doing it to make money.
I wouldn't be so hard on Cabrera if it was one bad year after a great career, but he's been a replacement level career for 7 years (after a great career). Like I said, I understand why he has to play, but I am not enjoying it.
They would be giving 350 at bats of experience to players who who might be able to help them in the future. They would find out more about their young players for their future planning.
I understand why he has to be play, but I'm not going to pretend it doesn't matter.
