I'm sure Edgar still knows how to keep the bat on his shoulder. Maybe he can attempt a comeback, too.
I've heard you never lose the ability to not swing.

I wouldn't be surprised if a hitter as great as EM was able to make a half-way decent comeback.

They'd play him like they played Ernie Lombardi. Just throw him out at first from the outfield.

Pavlov's dog = tec's BL. Say something about Edgar, BL comes drooling.

Genuinely surprised you know what pavlov's dog is. Maybe I underestimated south carolina's education system.

Though you do insist that the south didn't start a war to maintain its legal right to own people. So...maybe not.

Yeah, he's 54 and hasn't played in 13 years.

That sure sounds like the foundation for a "half-way decent comeback".

Maybe the great Brad Radke can comeback, too.

Don't be mad at me because tec rings the Edgar bell and you begin to drool. One could say tec owns you thus proving slavery is still intact.

Pretty sure neither one of us was being serious.

Unless you were...which would be weird considering you've said a high walk rate is a good thing.

LOL.

In which post, in your little black book of indexed and cataloged forum posts, did I specifically say that?

Huh, maybe you didn't. Do you think a high walk rate is a good thing?

Sorry, I'm not your dog. Try starting an argument with someone else.

He can DH and still win a gold glove at 1B.......the man can do anything.
Ha! I posted this in the SLB forum two years ago (September 2015):

I was just reading my favorite bathroom book, The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract (2001 edition), and opened it at random to the entry on Rafael Palmeiro. James writes about the controversy surrounding Palmeiro's being awarded a Gold Glove in 1999 despite playing only 28 games at first base:

"The Gold Glove is decided by what could be called an unconstrained plurality, meaning: 1) A voter can vote for anybody. 2) If the top vote-getter gets 15% of the vote, he wins, the same as if he had received 80%. A voting structure like this is an open invitation to an eccentric outcome. If the United States were to use a system like this to elect the President, the absolutely certain result would be that someone like David Duke, __________ or Warren Beatty would be elected President. If you can win an election with 15% of the vote, sooner or later somebody will. An unconstrained plurality vote gives an opening to someone or something who has a strong appeal to a limited number of people."

Fill in the blank!

LOL I'm not trying to start an argument. What kind of stupid ************ would argue that a high walk rate is a bad thing?

St. Louis Browns president Bill DeWitt might argue that. He said of Roy Cullenbine, "Luke Sewell [Browns manager] would give him the hit sign and he'd take it, trying to get the base on balls. Laziest human being you ever saw."

Cullenbine's career OBP was .408.

Maybe he was afraid of hitting into a double play. Or thought Sewell was giving him the "intentionally ground out to second" sign.
