    BA Article About AA

    https://www.baseballamerica.com/majo...ApXdvthBADP.97

    Nothing particularly new, but a pretty good take on the situation nonetheless. Other than possibly being able to get a stopgap 3B option or possibly landing Frazier as a potential long-term LF option, it's tough to complain about the lack of activity just yet. Other than Yelich, pretty much every trade target that's been talked about here is still out there - Archer, Realmuto, even Frazier for that matter - to be had.

    I don't think AA's going to hesitate to pull the trigger when the time comes, but I'll admit I'm glad he hasn't done so just yet. The asking prices have simply been to high thus far, and given the SSS for the arms at the upper levels and Riley and Jackson I have a hard time getting upset about getting a longer look at most of these guys just to be sure they're not the "answers".

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    I have no interest in Frazier from the Yankees anyway.

    You're welcome - I don't try to pass this stuff off as "my original content".

    BTW, isn't it time to call the FanGraphs' contributors "failed wannabes"? They certainly didn't waste a second welcoming Kiley back on board, and that's what you view him as - right???

    No, you just regurgitate the ideas of other posters as original content. That's a good idea on your part considering that an example of original content from you is quoted in my sig.

    Please find a single instance where I failed to give credit to anything I cited, copied, or referenced.

    And yes, FG has taken a dramatic turn towards appeasing the lowest common denominator fan who listens to XM Radio and watches MLB Network, such as yourself.

    South Park had a whole episode premised on it. It's part of the cultural literacy now, and pretty two-thousand-and-late not to recognize it.

    I'm pretty sure that it is a necessary component of being Yaoi art. Similar art marketed for boys is called Bara art. Can't believe you guys don't know these things. Like another poster said, so Two thousand and late. I bet you guys don't even know that its the Japanese who have full unilateral authority over deciding whether or not someone is homosexual. Gah.

    New topic’s much better. That BA article is mostly contentless fluff.
