    Injury count. I don’t see anyway otherwise.

    There won't be a tie. When sorted by fWAR someone will be ahead of the other by a small fraction even if they appear tied when rounded to the tenth.

    Cool. I didn't realize you could see fWAR in the hundredths

    You can't but they are sorted by actual values as precise as it's calculated.

    Right now among 3b it goes:

    Camargo 2.1
    Anderson 2.1
    Moustakas 2.1

    His wife is friends with Poseys wife, and he tells me the Yankees almost got Buster before SF gave him the extension.

    I told him that's not really how it works, and he flipped out. He doesn't understand basic things like team control for players.

    He won't pay when he loses anyways. Folks rarely pay up when they lose bets. We've seen plenty of examples on this forum.

    Don't accept the bet unless he agrees to both of you putting $1000 right now in escrow until 2021.

    Unless Acuna dies or commits a felony, there is next to 0% chance he will not be on a roster affiliated with the Braves on that date. Just make sure the DL counts, because 60 day DL is not on the 40 man MLB roster.

    In fact, see if he will extend the bet to me for any amount he's willing to put in escrow right now.

    He will pay. This isn't some anonymous internet forum. He ran his mouth in front of our entire golf group text that takes a nice trip together every year, including some of his family.

    This is one of those brilliant times where you run in to a guy who knows nothing about something, yet is so confident that he does know that he is willing to put large amounts of money on it. Those are the best people in the world to exploit lol.

    I've made thousands off of guys player 1/2 NLHE at casinos that are exactly like this. They don't know the difference between the cut off and the hijack, but think they are these great geniuses of the game. Its always both comical and profitable.
