Thanks Mac. I really do enjoy your player analysis. Thanks for your work!
When are you doing John Schuerholz, Jr.?
That would be in a special subsection, “Infield Possibilities That Make Me Want To Kill Myself”.
I probably need to do a writeup for the theoretical other catching possibilities, but I don’t see either Pena or Perez having a real shot.
Well, folks, Jenny has officially arrived. She is at this moment engaged in a rather heated e-mail argument with the infamous Dan Shaughnessy. He’s surprisingly dense.
It’s actually Jonathan Schuerholz, not John, Jr. Either way, though, it’s suicide-inducing.
Jenny, are you actually surprised?
A little bit, yes. The man’s inability to put 2+2 together and get 4 is kind of mind-boggling. Although that’s what I wrote to him about, a few logical fallacies in his columns, so why should I be surprised when he just compounds the problem in his e-mail? I guess I thought, hey, if he can write, I’m sure he can analyze what he’s writing and what I’m writing. I guess my expectations are too high. Cogency is all I ask, but that appears to be out of reach.
Wait a minute… stop the presses.
Dan Shaughnessy is dumb? Dan everloving Shaughnessy? The greatest baseball mind of our time? The greatest sportswriter in America? The greatest humanitarian in the Northeast?
No… he couldn’t possibly… be stupid…
The next thing you’ll tell me, you’ll be saying that Bono is arrogant.
Oh, shut up, Mr. Clever Trousers. Such a smartass 😉
Who’s Bono?
And I’m only half-kidding.
And jenny somehow manages to make a 24-year old feel old.
Whats the argument over?
You’re welcome, Stu 😉 I do what I can.
Look forward to it, Mac.
Jenny, were you arguing a specific article with him or just his general stupidities?

General stupidities. As you can imagine, the e-mail was rather lengthy 😉
