2006 Draft Mid Term Report
Friday, May 29th, 2009Mid Term reports tell the student where they stand today. It is not the final grade but an indication of what your grade will be if you continue to produce as you have produced to that point in time. The true grade comes after finals. In baseball development, the true grade of a draft comes after five years of development. The grades that are given can be improved or can tank depending upon a myriad of variables. (more…)
Astros at Pirates: Nights of the Long Knives
Friday, May 29th, 2009It’s going to happen any minute now, maybe even before I’m through “writing” this. Meaning that Mad Cecil will be formally sacked, gutted, garroted, eviscerated, cleaved, flayed, or simply taken behind the barn and shot for his many sins both foreign and domestic. Did he get the support he needed and deserved? I think largely, yes until the silliness reached its tipping point with the resolute non-bunting in Chicago followed by the scorecard idiocy, and the clumsiness in his comments regarding Oswalt and others. That’s not even counting the awful handling of Bourn and misuse of the bullpen, and all of the weird pronouncements along the way. Drayton and Wade will be made to look like jackasses in relieving Cooper within sixty days of handing him an extension–an extension he had to have in order to keep any semblance of authority over a team he lost last season. Maybe Drayton will now formerly exorcise his bizarre fealty to Bud Selig, having been schmoozed on the idea of dismissing Garner in favor of Mad Cecil. Oh, and that thing with Wrigley North, too, Drayton–that kinda sucked, don’t you think? Goddamn Selig.
