Mike, great stuff.

Back when you guys ran that what would you like to see more/less of from RAB, I was one of many who said more of this sort of thing, but just to be clear, this is exactly the sort of thing I, at least, had in mind. I know a little more about baseball and the Yankees than I did before I read this. It’s unfortunate how little sports writing accomplishes that. Great stuff.

Ha, sorry. All joking aside, though, there is a distinction there. Even thought I think (as we’ve discussed before) that Kemp is the more valuable player, that’s different than saying I’d trade Cano for him right now. I think you probably do, but you do have to consider the other circumstances before making that (or any) trade.

All I mean is… Saying you’d choose Player X over Player Y if you were starting a new team is different than saying you’d trade Player Y for Player X if those players are already on teams, have dollar values and all that other stuff involved, and you have to deal with replacement/roster issues.

You are the one guy here who can figure out diabolical ways to annoy me.

Not even TSJC has that ability. Or at least uses it.
