I think the moral of this story is that you should never trust rumors posted to internet message boards.

 

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!

 

I would amend that to an extent. If Bruce posted a rumor I would trust it.

Good point. Of course it could be argued that you would be trusting Bruce in that event, not the rumor... ;)

Point taken. I wonder if people would trust any rumors I posted. After all, DJAXX does have Media Credential.

Plus, Barrett does much better outside of the 8-hole.. Seems he loses any concept of patience when he's down there..

 

Ah, well. It'd sure be a good problem to have... :)

 

he does it on purpose, you dont want your 8 hitter taking a bunch of walks for the pitcher to make the last out in the inning. Thats exactly why I want him there, hes a smart enough hitter to realize that you need to take a different approach based on where you hit...just look at his stats last year hitting second. He took more walks, but it affected his batting average. I think Barrett is a great 8 hitter...especially with the rest of that lineup.

 

Prove me wrong Z!!
