Now, if that could only happen for me at my firm...

Lucky Jim: High draft pick in 2004, plus-plus-oratory skills and plus-knowledge of precedent. Still having trouble filing motions and anticipating counterarguments. May be better suited for a small market without all of the media attention.

There appears to be a dramatic improvement in his BB/K ratio taking place.

In fact, there have been more BBs than Ks in his last five or six games. It would be something if progress in this area was maintained instead of this being a small sample size diversion from a glaring issue in his stats.

Pre draft scouting report - "Displays excellent form in briefs." Or is that looks like Jim Palmer in briefs?:D

A question for the draftniks with good memories: did Ryan Adams actually play 2B in high school, or did we pick him hoping/assuming that he could make the transition to 2B?

Of course, the reason I'm asking this is that we just spent a high draft choice on LJ Hoes, who sounds a lot like a Ryan Adams in the making--good bat, no clear defensive position, we hope he can play 2B...

He was a short stop in high school. I think the Orioles had concerns about his arm and range so shifted him to 2b straight off.

His bat has always been rated ahead of his defense.

      I agree with that and he's only two years out of high school. If Holliday gets back to his pre-call up stat line as you mentioned then he deserves serious consideration to be back on the Orioles roster. For now Mayo and Norby are deserving of being called up if the Orioles want to bring up a player from Norfolk.

      I just want to riff on the term “elite athlete.”   To me, different people have different ideas of what level of quality is “elite,” and what it means to be an “athlete.”    For some people, “elite” means top 10% of the whole populace, for others it means top 0.1% of people who play professional sports.   Some people consider you “athletic” if you are very well coordinated and have good ability to learn skills, others don’t consider you “athletic” unless you could hold your own in the Olympic decathlon.   So a lot of times, people arguing about whether someone is an “elite athlete” are really talking past each other because they don’t ageee on what the term means.   To me, most pro sports players are elite athletes, and it’s just a matter of how elite they are.   In the case of Holliday, he’s athletic enough to be an awesome baseball player, and that’s elite enough for me.

      Right. It’s a screwup on their part.

      The last column is IRS, which means “inherited runners scored”  Inherited runners would be IR and I am surprised that I didn’t see it anywhere in that column. This particular site has a different set of initials, IRS means inherited runners scored. I don’t think that can possibly be correct, because that would be a huge number.
