I realize it is a superiority contest here with many posters. And believe or not, that's not my thing. But one thing is for sure. I saw and expressed Burleson's futuire success long before anyone else did on Cards Talk. And I am proud of it.

You definitely were the first (and still only) poster to say that Burleson was “the next Tony Gwynn,” “the next Joey Votto,” “a fine fielder,” and “an Edman-type player with good speed.”

In the friendliest of ways, I would challenge you to develop a wider body of work.

He’s harmless of course but starting the same repetitive threads day after day asking rhetorical questions makes no sense.
Again....he’s harmless but yikes!
If you've been around here for a decade or so, you'll remember a guy called Captain major. He always had to have three or four threads on the front page. Of course no content either. Same old story
I remember that guy! Didn’t we eventually determine somehow he passed away?

Along w/Saggese..................NOPE

Both are throw-ins to any trades C. Bloom makes mid season or in the off season.

I think that was the case, but not certain. As I recall, the Capt. would get very confused at the end and forget which forum he was posting in. He obviously was exhibiting the same behavior in current events or some other forum(s). It was pretty sad as I recall. I don't think he did the sock puppet thing like others. Always amusing when the sock puppets talk to each other and all of us know. Pretty pathetic. We have had some very entertaining trolls here who were harmless and didn't clog up the front page. Margie/WCBW was always my peronal favorite. I miss him/her/them/it... Always good for a laugh. I wish we had access to archives. The Descalso post right before the playoffs was a gem... Of course who can forget Troell and his various meltdowns:) So many trolls... now we have the narcissist.....but he is not as entertaining as Margie...

This is only my 4th season.
I notice that many talk about racist sock accounts etc.
I have no knowledge of that but disturbing.

One of our current trolls loved to pick racist scum names. Google Wally Butterworth. Only sick people would choose that as a handle:(

I have been accused of that. And It is a ludicrous accusation. This is one of the reasons I determined it is senseless to interact with posters that are so out of touch and fantasy-driven. Goofballs, if you will. Especially, the ones that get personal. The "Add foe" feature is wonderful.

That's the challenge of a lifetime, right? Working on it everyday. Some days are better than others.

You saw Burleson as a starting caliber player worth keeping when many saw him as a bench piece or trade bait at best. I will give you that. BUT, are you being honest with yourself about how accurate you actually were? I seem to remember you predicting him as way better than a 20 homerun, .280 hitter with an .800 OPS.
