With that type of regression he needs to be traded Pronto or he'll level Toronto.

You have swung and missed, badly, the last two seasons on your Burleson criticisms. Going for three I see. Burleson will continue to make you look like the psuedo baseball talent analyst that you are.
Well, in all fairness, Shady, not everyone can be an accomplished, elite “baseball talent analyst” and super-scout (who “see things others don’t”) like you:

Burleson: “the next Tony Gwynn / Joey Votto”
Gorman: “the next Eddie Mathews”
Walker: “Frank Robinson”
Yepez: “a prime-Pujols”
Rom: “Tudor-like”
Pallante: “a righty Chris Carpenter”
Roby: “a young Tom Seaver”
Saggese: “Steve Garvey” and “Jeff Bagwell”
Scott II: “Lou Brock”
Carlson: “will be the best hitter on the MLB team from day-one”

The list goes on and on. “Stay tuned.”
He admitted earlier this year that he "says Stupid Things, so everyone shouldn't pay him any attention".

But when those "Stupid Things" are refuted, he sure does get hostile. Throws around swear words, nasty labels, and accuses everyone of lying. I don't know if it's an illness or what, but it's unsettling.

He clearly doesn't understand or know much about baseball. None of us really do, but he's on the Orson Lannister level of Baseball Beetle Smashing

Kind of ironic the decision-making of the “High-Brass” he uses to support his ridiculous notions have yet to produce a single under-the-radar underdog star that he’s been waiting on for years. And that’s saying a lot because that list NYCards fan posted is quite lengthy.

But......pitching....especially the rotation....needs to take priority over acquiring that bat!
Yes

This

Plus 1 and beyond.

too many innings need covering
Shady's already covered that: he has informed us that a "savvy GM" would be able to obtain a "young, cost-controlled TOTR starter" and a "young, cost-controlled #2." Probably for a package of Walker, Gorman, or Nootbaar plus a bag of balls. Bloom just needs to git er' done.
Ok....that works for me! LOL
BTW just curious as to WHO those two young TOTR starters are????
Only a “Savvy GM” knows. That’s why they make the big bucks. You’re just going to have to wait and see!
Not sure I’ll be able to sleep tonight in anticipation?

You are good. You just refuse to acknowledge somebody that has made a very successful coaching career judging athletic talent. Have you ? Enough said. Continue your massive ego trip.

Most people here find you obnoxious and stupid. I thought of giving an age allowance but most elderly people don't act like you.

You are a sad SOS. You might want to concern yourself with more important issues in your life.

Your obsession toward belittling me despite what you have said is going on in your personal life is really concerning. You sir, are a JERK, personified.

Thousands respect me to the max. Go figure. There's a good chance you wouldn't have ended up being such a screwball if you'd have been one of my players or students.
