Gleeman (and JC) not only get advance copies of The Mind of Bill James, they get BOBBLEHEAD DOLLS!. I get diddly. I never get review copies of anything.

I get the feeling we’re more upset about the bobblehead dolls than the book 🙂
When does it come out for the rest of the proletariat to read?
we?
I didn’t get a bobble-head 🙁
Well, I can buy the book, where am I going to get the bobblehead?
I think the book comes out March 15 or thereabouts. Right before my birthday on the 17th.
I dislike Aaron Gleeman’s style strongly. Every time I read his writing I get the distinct feeling that he needs a girlfriend.
Girlfriends are overrated. Boyfriends rule.
A couple of us could run a campaign for Mac while Mac does his Murph-for-the-Hall deal…but what should be our goal? A Braves Journal Schuerholz interview or a bobblehead…that’s a toughie…
I’m still waiting for the Darrell-Evans-for-Hall-of-Fame campaign. Seriously.
This is way off topic… What is going on with the bravesbeat forums? Did Kyle decide to just hang them up or what?
Nobody’s told me anything about that.
Well Mac if you find out anything please let us(the community) know about it.
GO Vols!
You people disgust me
Phil Fulmer is the devil.
No Mac, if Phil Fulmer were the devil, we would have won more than five game this past season. However, Bruce Pearl may have hold his soul to the devil. I just love beating the Gators!
Boo. Haha
I am glad I am not a Knicks fan.
Bruce Pearl sweats like the devil.
I hear that Leo is calling all the shots from behind the scenes for the Knicks, Isaiah is just a figurehead.
Gryboski will be an NRI with the Nonamespos. Trust Jim Bowden to sign a guy whose one strength is that he doesn’t give up homers to pitch in a park where nobody can hit homers.
What do you guys think they are gonna do with McCann when Salty is ready?
Trade him to the O’s for Leo no doubt….
Move Salty to first
The odds are that one of the two will get hurt and force a move. That’s how catchers are. If not, Saltalamacchia will be moved to first or traded.
McCann or Francoeur
Who will have a better offensive season (OPS) next year?
I think McCann will. Still can’t get that home run off the rocket out of my head.
McCann. I put the over/under on jeff’s OPS around .750 – what do yall think?
Anybody remember when this came out, good thing it never happened!

For Frenchy, I say: Over.
Lower BA, higher OBP, lower SLG, but still an OPS above .775.
I think they’ll be about equal, but there’s all the difference in the world between a RF with a .780 OPS and a catcher with one.
the C’s .780 ops is likely to have a higher obp too which makes it more valuable. of course there is also a stark difference in defensive value between them favoring francoeur.
Note for people in my fantasy league… Carl Crawford’s delusions of grandeur. This is why we aren’t counting stolen bases.
