with just barely 500+ career PA beginning in 2000 with a .236 BABIP

he’s never had more than 200 PA in any one season. meanwhile, he’s got an extensive minor league track record that you’re ignoring. the projection systems are probably better than you at this. and they all agree on which player is better.

He's 31 years old.

Great minor-league performances without anything in the majors after age 28 don’t mean a whole helluva lot to me. Otherwise, the Myrows of the world would just be waiting for their times to shine.

He’s walked once in 100 plate appearances this year, counting spring training. He looks equally lost right now, which is in line for his entire MLB career save 130 ABs last year, in which he was in decline for the last half of it (.213/.268 over August and September).

So… .252 + 31 years old + aesthetic hopelessness seals the deal for me.

i recognize that he's not good. that's not the issue.

the projection systems take all of the stuff you’re talking about into account, too. it’s not nearly as big a deal as i’ve made it (it’s been working for Pods…), but if you had to predict which would be better over the course of a season, there’s plenty of evidence that says “go with Wise”. i’d prefer SSS not get caught up in Hawk’s “Pods is the catalyst of this offense” nonsense, which is why i started saying something in the first place.

This game is a full-day commitment, it feels.

I set up the computer outside this morning, with a cup of coffee to start the game.

Since then, I’ve had 2 Fat Tires.
Roasted salted almonds, 3 string cheeses, bowl of vanilla yogurt with blueberries and a banana in it, and about to hit the enchiladas.

Yeah, surrre.

Just started selling in Chicago about 3 or 4 years ago. I remember the first night I ever had it. At Shuba's to see Jerry Joseph solo.

Amazing night. I drank only those big bottles of Fat Tires and wow, what a show too. I was flyin’!

He moved back to Chicago.

My two cousins got caught selling herb and the judge gave them an option of joining the marines instead of doing a short jail stint.

My cousins both say it was a good idea at first but “then 9/11 happened and next thing we know we are in fucking Iraq”

But you are correct, I don’t pay much in taxes at all but I also don’t make shit. Plus I end up driving around a trailer park for a half hour looking for some crazy ass 20 year old manchild
