There's a shocking amount of Hendry apologists at the PSD board.

Pro Sports Daily? Why does that surprise you at all? I literally just picked a post at random and got this (about Junior Lake):

 

He'll come back down to earth but one thing I like already is his ability to bunt for a hit.

I guess there's enough of a mix of smart over there along with the stupid that I had forgotten about/overlooked the stupid.

 

NSBB has left me sheltered.

Why is it wrong to place some value on a speed tool?

It isn't, it's just that he had a really nice bunt one time and you can't count on that being a legit force of his game looking forward.

Yes, that. Bunting for a hit really isn't something you can or should be expecting or relying on.

Well, actually two nice bunts, but agreed.

I was commenting on the Hendry apologists, which is what N&G replied to with that post.

PSD would be a better board than NSBB except they insist on calling prospects "specs." That puts them like tied with BCB and barely above Cubs.com.

 

Nah, it wouldn't.

 

It seems more active, but that might just be because it's one forum and all of the activity is in like 4 threads.

 

Posters here are definitely better on the whole.

I'm glad that type of racism isn't tolerated here

We have like two good posters. Maybe.

 

Generally, there is more stupid on that board than here and this board generally has more smart.

 

In terms of individual posters, I can name at least 5-6 posters from NSBB who I'd take over almost anybody there, short of maybe one guy. I'm not gonna list them because that's weird and also I might forget someone. And I can't remember the PSD guy's name...but he usually posts pretty smart stuff. Might be NORTH or something?

Yeah, no. PSD is a couple of insiders and a cloud of dust (including a few who have posted here for longer). I tried to get into that board for a while, but now I just check it during certain times to see if Marlin Bystro or ABTY have anything, but other than that it's generally lacking. Granted, I'm more of a reader than a poster in general, but it's really not even worth posting there.

 

Even in it's weakened state NSBB is much better. There are at least a half dozen posters here that are better than any of the non-insiders there.

Why in God's name would anyone be trying to convince Kyle to stick around?

 

He won't go away. He wants all the attention that posting on multiple boards gives him, even if it's being universally reviled (or as he calls it, "being popular").
