If your pool only includes CT posters, you can use a simple process of elimination.

(I posted some criteria up thread.) You want someone who is reasonable. logical, has a keen understanding of statistics, especially modern metrics. Right there you eliminate about 80% of CT posters.

You don't want a self aggrandizing egomaniac, or a complete jerk, or a total homer. That eliminates 40-50%, not counting the overlap. (Most CY fans are massive homers.)

And you want someone with pretty good political instincts. That lets about 10-50% out, depending on how PR conscious you are, and the Cardinals are very PR conscious. (People like 45's and myself could never get past our insistence on honesty.)

So if you make a list and cross off everyone who can't meet each standard (and many will fail multiple tests) the list gets small really fast.

Agreed.
But, as I stated previously, I am neither interested nor available.
So perhaps there is no list at all.

LOL. I appreciate your knowledge of baseball which is real. You're probably right more often than wrong, which is pretty good for CT, especially considering the number of testable claims you make.

The fun is you never admit to being wrong.

And it's your humor that makes you worth reading. I see your stuff for what it is: A performance. And you're as good at that as anyone here.

Cheers

The below are whom I consider the most
savvy baseball contributors here.

Thread credibility lost.

My vote goes to Basil.
He's the only one [that I know}
that has actually been a G.M.
Birmingham Bulls, if my memory serves.
