Is it strange how people have no concept of context in speech any more, or is it that they choose to pick and choose phrases to use as weapons against their opponents regardless of the proper context and use in the English language?

HUH?

does cresten speak english?

No.  As a general rule, people are getting dumber.   I blame texting.   How R U

YOU HEARD HIM, COW WITH SHORT TAIL!!!!!

Does the "injury bug" only work with the 60-day DL or on both?  Will the Yankees be happier in the long run with the 2nd pitcher they got in the Montero deal?

Sometimes it works with both.   I hope Pineda pitches so well that people don't care about Campos for 2-3 seasons.

First question was a guy injured for about 40 days.

2nd was because I think you'll have 2 TOR starters from that deal.

Not sure if that works.   If he's put on the 60, he'll like get a bump on day 41 and 60.    The 15 DL I'm thinking about is the 5 day injury that doesn't show a rating hit.   Sometimes they'll get a ratings bump nonetheless.    If you put a 40 on a 15, you're likely to get one recovery.   And it may just be a full recovery with no gain.

I don't know enough about Campos to know.   I just hope Pineda pans out for the next couple of years while Campos develops.

If you had 0 scouting in say,  HS , and you found an 18 year old in the draft who had great current ratings and good make up...  what would you do?  Go with a hunch or rely on the scouting? 

Depends on my other options.  But if an 18 is already a marginal BL player based on currents, there's virtually no chance that he's not going to be a pretty good BL player.

Not purposely.  Just missed it.

He may not lose a point in everything every time but decline is inevitable.   An example from one of my teams last season:  Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Stan Norton
