I’m sorry if my response annoyed you. It was not my intent. I will do my very best to ignore these posts and do what you say, treat the reply button as if it is not there. You are correct, that is more productive approach for the MMO community. Again, I am sorry.

no, it appears you can not. and since that is the entirety of the body of work, the only solution is to somehow block all his posts. Basically, find a way to put the cloak of invisibility over him, and remove the reply button.

Still, that includes defense and baserunning, both of which are non-factors in Cabrera’s game. BREF compiles oWAR and dWAR seperately. Strictly offensively, Wright was 4th amongst 3B last season.

WAR includes defense. He was 4th in BREF’s oWAR.

Just saying, by WAR Wright is the best third basemen in the game.

Phony persona? What are you. .? What?? Do you know him personally? Have you seen him multiple times in public acting contrary to his public image? Where do you get this crap? Have journalists hinted at this? Have former teammates said anything of the sort?

I know several people who do know him personally including someone who dated him years ago. Every single account of him I have heard is that he is the exact person we see in public. There is nothing at all manufactured or fake about him or his image.

Last year the guy hit 301 with 26 and 93. And you find it absurd that someone would predict 310, 26 and 110. You find it absurd?

I could see why you might disagree. You might say, for instance, that his second half was far worse than the first and if that trend were to continue he would struggle to approach 300. You might make one of several arguments why these predictions may be a bit aggressive. And there are counter arguments which might suggest they are more than fair.

But you find them absurd. You find them so absurd that it offends your very sensibilities so great that it causes you to rant?

I’d say those were great over/unders to start a good discussion Personally, I think those numbers are a bit high but definitely in the ball park. I think 20-24, 95-105 and 290-305.

I for one am shocked, shocked I say, that a Alex was the first to comment on a post about David Wright. Who could ever have seen this coming?

Keep tilting at windmills Don Quixote.

Point of parliamentary procedure Messrs. Chairmen (Joe D and co), I know we aren’t supposed to instigate and I know we are supposed to use particularly soft gloves around Alex, but do the new rules require us not to react to the incredibly absurd and repetitive statements born of his not all disguised bias and hatred to Wright and Sandy? Am i allowed to call a clown a clown? If not I will stop.

But man, this was so predictable and really so damn annoying.

That’s not entirely accurate. ESPN has Wright as the second-ranked offensive third baseman based solely on those five stats, which as I mentioned, do not accurately show real value.

Am I seeing things?

So ESPN has Wright as the second best third baseman in baseball? No wonder their ratings keep dropping.

Why is Wright in the decline? Last season was his second best as professional and it’s not as if he’s old, he’s 30 (only 5 months older than Cabrera I might add).

Through 2012, Cabrera has earned $95 million in salary and Wright has earned $54 million. Through 2015 (when Cabrera becomes a FA unless extended) Wright will have earned $105 million and Cabrera $150 million.

I’m surprised that your not aware at what Wright will earn.

He is reported to earn $17.25M in 2014 and that is before removing the $2.5M of his scheduled deferred money which will then make the total $14.75M.

Wright only makes 11 Mil this season.
