    I think it has more to do with knowing he will get WAY more than $2.75M by filing for arbitration. define "WAY." this early on in prior's career, i can't believe he's going to be getting anything crazy. twice as much having to give prior a couple million extra doesn't matter at all if we can throw similar amounts around to horrible players. im not sure that he'll make it to five million though. the arbitration system is especially kind to people this early in their careers.

    im rooting for usc just because it appears that no one else here is

    hey guys, im here now! everybody stay tuned for exciting treebeard comments such "why don't i know anybody on usc besides bush and leinart" and "how come usc's logo is actually a picture of a spartan?"

    A really good point Tim makes everytime this argument comes up is that, in order to make it all the way to the major leagues, you have to perform under extreme amounts of a lot. You have to perform in front of scouts in high school and college, and in front of more scouts in the minor leagues. That's an enormous amount of pressure, in some cases you could probably argue that there's MORE pressure on the kid in high school. It seems silly to say that you'd be able to make it to the major leagues without being able to perform under pressure.

    If you don't believe there's such a thing as a clutch player, you must not watch much sports, and you clearly didn't play many either. I watch a lot of sports and have played plenty in my time and I don't believe there is a "clutch player." The numbers don't bear that out. If being "clutch" is an ability, then "clutch players" would have good numbers in "clutch" situations from year to year or at least numbers that are consistent with their career numbers. They do not. It's all in how you define clutch. Bases loaded in a 8-0 blowout is not the same as bases loaded with your team down by a run or two in the late innings. You can't lump the two at-bats into the same category. I think on this one, actual viewing of the game is required. It doesn't matter what situations you narrow it down to, situational performance varies wildly from year to year. he WATCHES the games

    i'd also like to add that wilson is yet another answer to the question "what could the cubs have done besides sign jacque jones?"

    so many people are just openly inflammatory about this anti-moneyball stuff that threads like this are impossible to read.

    MARK ELLIS 316/384/477 and he's 28 years old. and he plays excellent defense. the a's don't want todd walker. not even at 1b/dh, where they've already got swisher and johnson, with no room for either in the of.
