Dayn Perry, You're Quickly Becoming a Favorite

It's fairly obvious he has no idea of which he writes.

Yes, he's predicting sunflowers and rainbows for the Red Sox as previously mentioned and problems for New York.

However, I can't let a comment like this slide:

Andy Phillips would make a useful platoon partner for Cano

Yes, Andy Phillips, who is a terrible fielder at any position except for first base would be an adequate platoon partner for the 2005 ROY runner-up.

That honestly thus far is the winner for the "Most Retarded Idea, 2006" award.

He also makes no mention of Octavio Dotel in his bullpen section. It's like he briefly scans a few rosters and makes uneducated predictions and articles and then collects his fat FOX paycheck.

My friend (rolling her eyes): "‘can't pick up that number' - was it a short black man, or a medium size white man?"

I believe his words were "His pre-1999 numbers are Hall worthy, but not strikingly so." Huh?

Yes, Yankee Stadium was slightly smaller then and baseball didn't include blacks, but look at the home run totals for everyone else compared to Ruth. Also, back then, the pithing was not diluted as it is today by having too many teams. All you see is the popular current thinking instead of the reality of what is going on. How disappointing you are.
