I've met Jack Russell Terriers that I would not go close to again, but have certainly not had a negative expertise with an American Staffordshire Terrier. If you're talking about their owners- nicely, that's a various story. Humans are animals as well, and we have a tendency to each have our individual tips about "moral concepts".

Love the halo around Evan's head. I can only imagine that the official photos will just be from the chest up — otherwise the untucked shirts would surely be vetoed.

Sore leg at beginning of spring training followed by sore elbow & heard right when he is scheduled to come back he will be taking personal time off next weekend. Makes you wonder if he really wants it. If any of us had the opportunities in front of him i would think we could stay out of the training room. Maybe that's what they mean about his work ethic last year. Seems like guy is always "hurt" but never has real injuries on MRIs. Joyce seems hurt too much.

I played the game at a high level, so I understand the game. I also have integrated saber philosophies into my evaluation. Pena has been a superior offensive player the past seasons to CC. You dont want to account for Pena's ability to walk(not make out) and you want to use batting average which accounts for singles and home runs as equal. CC is a great player. He is a completely different player from Pena. Pena is a power hitting batter that gets on base via walks, doubles, and home runs. CC derives his value from speed and a solid batting average. They both are good defensively, with CC being much more valuable because he plays a corner spot. When all is accounted for, Pena has been more valuable the past 3 seasons. CC will be more valuable over the next 5-6 year stretch because of his age. But it doesnt make sense to pay someone $15 million per year when you can have a player at league minimum performing 90% of what CC can do. That money can be allocated elsewhere. I know I used some big words. Look them up. Use some analytical skills, and try not to appear to be a buffoon...which may be difficult.
