MOST VALUABLE POSTER

Re: **** locked threads....I want more Linden bashing!!


I frequently disagree with Brute on what he writes and also with some of his evaluations, but I don't quite understand the venom his posts are attracting.

I cannot stand what Sabean and company have done to the minor league system -- it is laughable that when the Giants need to call up a SS from the minors b/c the starter is hurt, they have call up one that hit .220 in A ball.

I can't stand that the Giants have failed to produce an impact position player since Matt Williams.

All that being said, Brute spends a lot of time evaluating and writing up the minor leaguers and it is really easy to criticize minor league evaluations with hindsight b/c almost all that play in the minors fail. Scouting talent in baseball is by far the most difficult of all the major sports.

I think when those at Baseball America or Baseball Prospectus or others like them try and project minor leaguers as major leaguers it is frequently a best-case scenario.

I think the Board is great when posters rip each other's analysis with some reasoning or basis without resorting to sophomoric insults.

I know that when the Giants picked Jackson Williams, I lost it b/c IMO he was an obvious reach that cannot hit. On another Board and maybe even on this Board Brute and I have gone back and forth re this topic and somehow I think my posts would have been less effective, if I told Brute to get William's cock out of his mouth.

Anyway -- hopefully we can get back to criticizing each other's analysis and reasoning and have less talk about cock.

Thanks, giantc, I appreciate the feedback, and I definitely respect your opinion throughout the debates we had.

For the defense of 9$ and ASU, I'm being an asshole....I'm just being one intentionally. I have nothing against people who dislike Linden, or Arizona State University, or lesbians for that matter. Eh, nothing against scholars either, I guess.

I just can't stand people who act like the antagonists of Animal House, and who simply come onto the boards with no analysis other than "Linden's a !@#$" or "Cammy's a slut."

So I'll admit I'm being this on purpose, being one to hate on one. Maybe I'll grow tired of it soon, and will certainly stop if it annoys others.
