		<description>Didn&#039;t know we had a character limit, had to delete the last half of the post and it wouldn&#039;t let me copy it.  Too bad, I spent about an hour on the thing.  Just as condensation, Lee&#039;s job is different from yours and comes from a completely different perspective.  I kind of try to bridge the two camps, learning and using some stats while realizing that there is much more going on in the game than the official scorer writes down, there are mental errors and outstanding plays and hunches and brain farts that don&#039;t show up in historical tables.  Put the two views together and they can be complimentary.  Good piece.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s those types, the baseball folks, who add on the spot experience to the numbers and when they screw up they go somewhere else.  Fantasy ballers don&#039;t care for Lee&#039;s blog and are probably quite resentful of his press pass and ability to actually talk to the players and coaches, I know I am.  (paragraph)Chris Getz is just the pinata for the stat crowd to whack to try to cover the fact that stats can&#039;t quantify everything between the lines, which is why Master Chen is lucky rather than has an unquantifiable skill set that eludes the actuaries.  Getz probably never should have been the starting 2B this year, but he got it by default when Aviles collapsed and there wasn&#039;t anyone else available.  Should Gio look like he can improve next year, Getz probably gets assigned to Omaha or released.  That&#039;s why they signed Yuni, thinking him more versatile with a bigger stick and, perhaps, the ability to play an average 2nd. (paragraph) As for Lee not playing GM, he does have a couple of full-time jobs as cartoonist and blogger/columnist for the Star.  His view is that his job is to get to know the players and try to show the inner workings of the game to the readers.  I think he does it extremely well.  What he tries to avoid doing is getting involved in trades, contracts, signings and such, for one reason that it interferes with his job of relating to the players and coaches, for another that there are hundreds of us arm-chair GMs to micro-analyze every possibility. (paragraph) As for Getzie being the 7th ranked player by the Polk system, Gio ranked higher on per game average than Getz did.  It&#039;s the nature of the position.  Most statheads are incensed because weak hitting infielders rank higher than Billy, but that is what happens when fielding and base running are taken into consideration.  If you don&#039;t like the values assigned for some plays you can make suggestions, as I&#039;ve done.  I consider sac bunts over rated, but also recognize that players like Escobar and Getz have a decent shot at getting a hit on a sac, so it gets a little more difficult to quantify.(paragraph) As for considering people who have spent a lifetime learning the game to be smart or not, Lee isn&#039;t contending that there is a baseball gene that makes some people better GMs, he is, I think, contending that there is a great deal more to putting together a competitive organization from the ground up under small market constraints than an outsider sees.  We had a couple of examples last year as the blogosphere melted at the signings of Melky and Frenchy and predicted a great year from Aviles and Kila.</description>

		<description>@henrywiggen Anything I can do to get you to laugh on those dreary days while I enjoy sunshine and 65, wiggen.

 

You&#039;re right about the age-ist comment. I should know better than to generalize like that when it&#039;s the very thing that I hate about baseball writers and people. 

 

I find it funny though that someone charged with a place at a newspaper would take so easily to the team they write abouts position lock-stock and sound-bite, and never have cause for even the slightest second guessing. (Even though, in his post like week, Judge does just that, play general manager.) It&#039;s amusing to me that baseball front office types peddle their abilities of player evaluation as somehow greater than (when there&#039;s no justifiable reason they are) and other people just fall in line with that thinking. </description>

		<description>@eric.akers Yeah, don&#039;t think I haven&#039;t already taken a few shots of whiskey today because of this. If I write many more things about why I can&#039;t stand DM as a general manager, I think the masses may have at me with pitch forks. </description>

		<description>&quot;...hack-a-mole style hitter...&quot;

Thanks, I needed a good laugh on a dreary, dreary Kansas City morning. 

You&#039;re right on, here though I resent (resemble) the age-ist remark. First, it is tiresome to listen to the scrappy player rap incessantly during the season. If baseball reveals one thing, it reveals -- as you point out -- DNA.

When you sign on to be GM, you sign on to be second guessed. The argument that no one knows enough to second guess is like the argument that no one knows what the president of the United   States knows -- really knows... all the little secrets -- so no one can really second guess the president. I&#039;ve noticed it is mostly presidents and their supporters who say this.</description>

		<description>&quot;...hack-a-mole style hitter...&quot;

 

Thanks, I needed a good laugh on a dreary, dreary Kansas City morning.

 

You&#039;re right on, here though I resent (resemble) the age-ist remark. First, it is tiresome to listen to the scrapy player rap incesiantly during the season. If baseball reveals one thing, it reveals -- as you point out -- DNA.

 

When you sign on to be GM, you sign on to be second guessed. The argument that no one knows enough to second guess is like the argument that no one knows what the president of the United States knows -- really knows... all the little secrets -- so no one can really second guess the president. I&#039;ve noticed it is mostly presidents and their supporters who say this.
