And would you realize I am not a nut if I draw the line at saying don't nominate Bachmann, Paul, Santorum, Johnson, McCotter, Huntsman because they are unelectable -- but the others would all still be favorites to win?

Join better worlds.   Or trim the fat of worlds you don't like if adding teams seems like too much.

Sure, you'd be considered.   Very few are outright denied.

Thinking like that will get us four more years of Obama. 

Fielding.  Riley is playing a position he can handle.  The other guy is overmatched.   The awards tilt defensively.   Maybe, just maybe, owners could learn something from that as opposed to saying "That's stupid".    There's a game hint in that statement. 

There are segments of the population that will vote for/against a candidate based on the stupidest of reasons.   Those reasons include charisma, skin color, speaking ability, looks, etc, etc.   If you think Obama has no chance, you do not understand much about the election process.   IMO, Obama is the favorite.  Even the tiniest economic surge will get him re-elected.

Could you expand on the previous player comparison? Are you saying Riley is gathering more support because is a gold glove candidate at a relatively useless position (RF)? I'm not saying it is stupid, just asking for help in understanding better.

Knight has 13 errors and 8 negative plays at 2B.   One could say he's doing more harm than good.  Riley has 7 assists, 1 error and 12 plus plays in RF.   He's helping the team in the field and OPSing pretty much the same thing.    In truth, I'm not sure why you don't have those two reversed in the field.   Riley has more range and a better glove.

Is it safe to say that over the past two months that Tim Tebow has achieved nationwide cult status?

So I should switch Riley with Knight at 2B and RF? Will this help defensively? Would I be hiding Knight in RF?

I don't think so.  You have to go beyond the sports world.   I'm pretty sure anyone who follows football is well-aware of Tebow.   But, outside of that sub-group, I'm pretty sure Snookie is more well known.

Yeah, I'd switch them.   I'm becoming more and more convinced that a mobile rock could play decent RF in HBD.  So more range and a better glove at 2B is preferred.   Riley isn't really a 2B either but he's better than Knight.

Does this article change your answer in any way?

Nope.  I assume you didn't read this part:

He's ranked 1,050 in awareness, which means he's known by 55 percent of U.S. consumers, according to the DBI. That puts him in the same range as Randy Moss, Steve Young, Sugar Ray Leonard, Phil Jackson and Tony Stewart. (Among current athletes, Tiger Woods ranks No. 1 in awareness followed by Venus Williams, Michael Phelps, Kobe Bryant, Serena Williams, Manning and Michael Vick.)

Seriously, Randy Moss, Steve Young, Sugar Ray Leonard, Phil Jackson and Tony Stewart.   No one who doesn't follow sports knows these people.

The Idaho Potato Bowl!!!!   Because it's in Idaho and it's for a potato!!!!   But, seriously, I'm interested in the San Diego State game against ULL but I'm not sure why.   SDSU is on my CF radar but I think it's because of Marshall Faulk.    Maybe Aztecs vs. Ragin' Cajuns just sounds exciting.

Does nordique93's reign  in Evangeline League (6 WS in 17 seasons) make him one of the top players in HBD? Or is he just dominating in a tardworld? 

In your opinion how doe this world continue to fill up so quickly and worlds like Branch Rickey have such a tough time filling?

I don't really know anything about Evangeline League except they had a lot of openings.    That's not a good sign.
Branch Rickey is having a tough time filling because A) they don't think they have a problem within the world B) they don't have a solid commish recruiting.

Not anymore.
