Maybe they can teach him how to play baseball.And, frankly, it has never occured to me that "winning" a debate is important, or that I should be hurt when someone like Airshark or kah, among others (for whom winning a pseudo debate or declaring intellectual superiority over invisible others is obviously very important) ridicule me.

grote,
He was as fundamentally unsound as any Cardinal I've watched.
Tremendous athletic ability to cover all the physical (and mental) mistakes he'd make.And, frankly, it has never occured to me that "winning" a debate is important, or that I should be hurt when someone like Airshark or kah, among others (for whom winning a pseudo debate or declaring intellectual superiority over invisible others is obviously very important) ridicule me.

I was glad to see him "thrown in" the deal with Drew.
I really liked JD, but the more I think about it, the better this deal looks -- no matter WHAT (if anything) we get out of Marquis, Wainright, or King.
It will still be tough to see JD in that Braves uniform though.When you say to your neighbor, "We're having a loud party on Saturday night if that's alright with you," what you really mean is, "We're having a loud party on Saturday night."

The one thing that concerns me is that the Braves have developed more pitching prospects than anyone, Smoltz, Glavine, Millwood, to name the main ones, so why would they deal Wainright unless they knew something. Somebody listed out all the pitchers that the Braves traded, and their career value, or lack thereof, after they left Atlanta was outstanding. With that said, Marquis needed a change of scenery and I think Duncan can make something out of him.

They dealt Jason SchmidtAnd, frankly, it has never occured to me that "winning" a debate is important, or that I should be hurt when someone like Airshark or kah, among others (for whom winning a pseudo debate or declaring intellectual superiority over invisible others is obviously very important) ridicule me.

While I agree with JD that Marrero had bad fundamentals, there is no denying the raw talent that he had. Anyone that can play 5 different positions, hit with some pop, and run that fast can ALWAYS be used on a 25 man roster.*Syria becomes the 7th predominantly Muslim country bombed by 2009 Nobel Peace Laureate Barack Obama—after Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya and Iraq

Marrero was/is a product of Shannonesque hype.And, frankly, it has never occured to me that "winning" a debate is important, or that I should be hurt when someone like Airshark or kah, among others (for whom winning a pseudo debate or declaring intellectual superiority over invisible others is obviously very important) ridicule me.
