Born and raised in San Jose and currently live in Long Beach, CA, I'd been a casual baseball fan for years up until the past couple years where I really started getting into the finer points of the game and the statistics of the game. Why don't I tell you a little about what I believe:
-Pitching does win championships but...
-Self-imposed caps are ridiculous (they'd probably be less ridiculous if I owned the team)
-I would only pay $6,000,000 at the most for a closer ("Never pay for saves")
-I believe Mike Fontenot was the correct choice over Jeff Keppinger
-I don't understand why so many people want Jack Morris in the HoF
-Buying out arbitration years in team-friendly contracts is something I'm a big proponent of
-I'm not on the "you did PEDs" or "I suspect you of PEDs therefore no HoF for you" bandwagon, although I did start there
-AT&T Park is the most beautiful park in ever
That'll do for now. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my writing!
A lot of people’s favorite reliever, and for good reason: he’s the best reliever the Giants have on the roster. I would love him to be the closer, but that’s an argument for another…Read More
