Is the paper smaller, or are your hands bigger??? ;)

Anyone read Moneyball?

I liked the movie, but know sometimes things get changed. And, I get the criticism that Moneyball overlooked the 3 stud pitchers that ripened at the same time.

My pre-conception is that I agree with the concept of trying to find undervalued players, to manage the budget and to limit the talent needed to acquire these players. And, I get the on-base focus. I'm good with that. And, I'm kinda good with the concept of upgrading multiple positions to offset the loss of an expensive guy, along the lines of if the combined net matches, it doesn't matter.

But, I'm not sure how "deep" it goes into the funky new stats that are being thrown out there as smarter than the classics.

So, I'm thinking about giving it a read. Anyone read it?

Yeah, I get you. As long as the guys who are our 25 are shaping up right, true, that's what matters most. But, just assuming that the other teams are doing the same things in mixing players and wondering why we aren't better more, with our mixed lineup vs theirs.

Just hoping what is losing these games is not what we are counting on. Again, don't really understand what is causing them, as pub on the games is scarce.

No idea...

Maybe it's a "repackage and try again" thing...

Hope it does well.

Reds spring record notso good. Not overly worried, but would like to see our guys outperform their guys. Surely they are putting the same mix out there as we are, so... ?????

I don't have a clear idea as to why we are losing so much. I haven't tried to rat through the box scores, to see why. But, I hope that magically those problems will disappear in April. Anyone have any insight?

Some, did you see the church signs link I posted friday? I know you would love those.

Bullpen crowding...

Yeah, it sure looks like some decent guys won't make the roster. I am afraid "having options" to be sent down, might be a factor, unfortunately. For example, JJ Hoover CAN be sent down, but I would want him here. Should be interesting...

Good article on Xavier Paul. I don't understand why other teams have let him go. He has hit pretty much everywhere. I wouldn't play him over one of the three we have now, but I wouldn't feel bad if we needed him to start. I hope we can keep him and he can keep hitting like he has, pinch-hitting and giving the starters rest.

Congrats Cincy on getting a Buffet's Margaritaville!

I always visit the one at Universal Studios in Orlando. It's a really neat place. I'll have to add that stop to my Cincy visit.

Yeah, it is about time for him to give that a rest. At least he has finally dropped the Cowherd line of discussion.
