This is why I was so sure that the shift would be banned. There is no adjusting to an endless array of pitchers that throw 100. In those slap hitters day, there was only one guy in the league that threw that hard and that was Nolan Ryan. Nobody slapped a bunch of singles against him, did they? Every team has 11 Nolan Ryans now. That's why the shift has to be banned. |

So what your saying is you have no proof that Wong or Sullivan can predict every players future projections correctly?

The former is a professional sports bettor and the latter works in the Rays front office but used to work for fangraphs, a publication I have no affiliation with whatsoever.

They all had ISO's well below league average for the time period in which they played. Gwynn - .120 ISO and league average was .142 Rose - .106 ISO and league average was .123 Carew - .101 ISO and league average was .121 And the creme de le creme Ichiro - .091 and league average was .156 Wanna see where those ISO's rank on the all time lists? Gwynn - 968th Rose - outside of top 1000 Carew - outside of top 1000 Ichiro - outside of top 1000 Yeah those guys may have been great back in the day, but those guys wouldn't be shit now. |

That's the Glasses for you. Still nothing was dumber than Danny Boy Glass telling Beltran to take a million less. Lost him over that.

Lesky’s Notes: Baseball is about to be pushed aside Football is king in Kansas City, so the Royals are not front page news, but that doesn’t mean we’re not still here!
