Bill Shanks back at Scout.com

Holy ****. The main board there or whatever has one page of posts covering 2 months of baseball. So they're averaging less than 1 new thread per day during baseball season. and 18 of those threads have no posts after the OP.

The OT boards as of like July will basically have no new posts in a year.

So funny. All this basically starting because of weso getting banned for asking if we could discuss issues with Pattio. So many lulz, so little time. We wrecked that board in no time flat.

Zito, the grandmas love that board now.

They can now knit a whole blanket and not have to worry about reading pesky new posts.

I'm going to try to use Scout's board as a Minor League affiliate. Whenever I feel any of you are not posting up to par, I will demote you and send you down to work on some things like mechanics and technique.

Couldn't you at least send us to AA? Why back to the DSL? Thats harsh man.

You need reps to improve those things.

When I hired Patio a few months ago and there was huge resistance to him being a stalwart on here, I told him about the farm system I was looking to develop so he's been in the loop about this.

Not all ideas are good ones.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

I tried to opt out and KL exercised a team option on me.

 

[Carp]

I'm out of options. Play me or trade me, SAV.

 

[BRule]

Someone start an "Ask Bill Shanks" thread. Thanks guys.

 

[Julio3000]

Someone needs to be the Curt Flood of this piece and challenge Keith's absolute power over comings and goings.

It's like that opening scene in Robin Hood Men in Tights. Bill stepped out for a minute and came back and all the prisoners escaped.

 

[Millwood1Hitter]

I can't wait til I can message Shanks once again and hear about the next Steve Carlton, Kevin Brown, John Smoltz, Roy Halladay & Derek Lowe that are on the cusp of being on the big league roster in the next 2-3 years.

I hope everyone leaves so this can becomes the Wham fanclub board it was destined to become.

Wouldn't it be better if he started off making all the content free until people started coming back? Who's going to sign up for premium now? The free board isn't worth reading, much less anything premium. Seems like a poor business decision.

Bill didn't seem to be the most business savy person honestly. Once he started ostracizing the "kiddie" board he lost a good portion of his current and prospective future business.

Funny, Shanks complained Heyward didn't have enough multi-hit games, now he can't get a multi-hit thread =p

 

[AerchAngel]

I would trade AA for Patio in a heartbeat.

Being in your dome 24/7/365 is getting a bit uncomfortable. Sorting out all of this hatred you have for me is not good for the soul.

Let it go man, let it go. Being a racist is okay....it really is.
