wildcard

<p><p><p>I've got to take my hat off to you, wildcard. I've enjoyed monkeying around with sports rosters since the time I was a kid, when my friends and I would play general manager, and when following sports took up 95% of my brain space and passion. It's probably down to 5% now, especially with all my adult obligations (including 2 great kids in college) -- but I still enjoy fooling around with it. Back to this hat-taking thing: you're the best I've ever seen at this kind of stuff. I always enjoy your posts (yes, agree mostly, disagree with some, respect them always). I also enjoy the brain I envision operating behind the scenes. You are impressively logical and comprehensive in your analyses. Best wishes!</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>BTW, in case you might be wondering, the one place where I have the biggest disagreement with some of your posts is driven by us having a different "baseball-enjoyment utility function" -- current-season performance is a bit more important to you than to me. But hey, if everybody had the exact same taste as me, we'd all be in trouble! :-)</p></p></p>
