Makes sense. Didn't realize it didn't carry over

I was pretty sure Faedo got a 4th option. Is that not the case?

Always good to have an excuse to shoot over to Chicago for the weekend!

Had to come back and find this post...to say this has been stuck in my head for like 12 hours...

Unrelated to this post but...I can't see your name without thinking of Flint Bulldogs legend Jacques Mailhot, one of the more entertaining minor league hockey players of the 90s

Hell, you can ignore defense altogether - just drop positional value and Soto is ahead.
But, your point is fair. Love to have a guy like that in the lineup. A great SS who just cranks out wins. Lindor, Sweeney, those guys.

To be fair, isn't the gap between SS and RF like 14 runs in positional value alone, which is worth like 1.4 WAR?

You're always willing to grant exceptions. I'm talking about a guy who didn't start at 21, and is in his 5th full season

Any comment on the team featuring a 23 year old in his 5th full season in college, or is pearl clutching over player age reserved solely for the opposition?

Shouldn't be, no

Agreed! So let him be the one exposed to waivers, and let Workman get claimed in the Rule 5 with a chance to get him back if he doesn't make the team in Chicago
comment in response to
post
I guess my point is, both players are likely to be exposed to other clubs. Workman in the Rule 5, Kreidler through waivers. With Workman, you have the chance to claw him back if he drops from the active roster. Lose Kreidler on waivers, he's gone for good.
I'd argue this is the better option
comment in response to

I don't think Kreidler last the offseason on the 40, do you?
At that point it doesn't really matter anymore

First time losing 2 since 1966, unless I missed something

I'm old enough to remember white supremacists loving Andrew Yang for saying this same thing.

Nothing is sacred. The Hockey Theme has been on TSN for like 15 years now.

Anyway, not trying to get on here and try to correct you or anything, just a landlocked person fascinated by what's going on, and your post rose to the top of my feed!

But, they could make this much more clear, to be sure.

The "threat is over" message is from Honolulu, which doesn't cover the continential US coastline. The ongoing warning was issued by the Alaska office, which does cover California/etc
comment in response to

Weird that they wouldn't cancel the warning when they also say the threat is over, like they do with severe storms.

Warning still in effect -

Who is your comp for *this* race, though? "Modern indies" don't fit this mold. Who's been a party insider who was also the best funded candidate, and was considered by many to be the front runner in the race in the first place?
It's uncharted territory. Which means, simply, anything can happen
comment in response to

Ventura was, for all practical intents and purposes, an independent. Perot was performing quite well before he dropped out of the race in 92, as well. These unique, one-off things happen. We don't have a comp in Michigan because nobody's tried.

Wolf feels like a hundred years ago. Man, a lot has happened lately.

I'm just talking the back-and-forth flip. Nobody seems interested in replacing the party in power, save for 88. Closest we came was 14, if that national Republican wave were a bit smaller, Schauer probably wins
comment in response to
post
It does, but things tend to move back-and-forth - Milliken won twice, then Blanchard twice, then Engler 3 times, then Granholm twice, the Snyder twice, then Whitmer twice. Last time an incumbent party won re-election with a new candidate was 1960.

I suspect if he runs a strong campaign, and can't win, the winds are probably blowing in the direction of a Republican anyway

I wouldn't disagree, but the optics absolutely affect how their brands are received
