    Correct. Except I'll make his signature be, "This poster has a Baseball Knowledge Index of X/10", and I get to decide what X is.

    State what mine will be, and let's seal this deal.

    I defer to my agent, Hawk, on business matters.

    They also said from day 1 they will not be trading prospect assets for a quick fix. Why do folks still insist on trying to come up with clever scenarios that completely contradict everything that has been said and done?
    Why indeed?

    I'm struggling to see where I was wrong here. A team that just paid for mediocre innings would not trade for Archer, and they didn't.

    Let's see what you have to say when I dig up all your dumb comments. I already have a few in mind haha.

    There was the time I couldn't read the service time chart on baseball reference. That was a good one.

    Yeah I'll start there.

    And you still didn't explain how I was wrong.

    You were right about the service time.

    If you mean this thread, I still don't think you were wrong when you said:

    "they also said from day 1 they will not be trading prospect assets for a quick fix. Why do folks still insist on trying to come up with clever scenarios that completely contradict everything that has been said and done?"

    I still agree with you.

    Then why did you necro this thread in an attempt to show all the times I was wrong.

    You better go back and start editing your old posts. I hope you do so I can call you out on that too haha.

    I was admiring your eloquent prose.

    "I think the Braves are showing the optimal blueprint for building a roster during that awkward transition season between rebuilding and true contention. Mismanaging that transitional season has scuttled many rebuilds, and I think the Braves are handling it nearly perfectly."

    And they were handling it perfectly by signing short term pitchers. Nothing worked out for them on the pitching staff, from rookies to veterans.

    How exactly are those contradictory statements?
