Is this Rickard's slump or just emerging to ...?

All very good AND appreciated. I will point out that the Earl Weaver's Manager's Corner video I posted was an attempt at levity in a contentious thread, not a rebuttal. I just thought it was funny to hear him once again talk about #%$# fleas on the base paths.

And Alice Sweet. Been wanting to use that as a band name for years.

Purportedly, Billy Martin poisoned Weaver's tomato plants.

Rickard is a lot better than I thought he would be. A lot. Kudos to the scouts and front office folks who saw a diamond in the rough.

I'm not ready to sing the praises of a guy with a negative fWAR, but he has been a bit better at the plate than I thought.

You convinced that the sample is enough to define him?

Certainly not, but it doesn't help that if the sample so far is wrong, it's probably too positive, not negative, and he'll regress down to his projections. My biggest hope is that he is better defensively than the super small sample suggests.

A bunch of righties coming up over the next five days. Rickard and Pedro have been swinging the bat well.
