The working theory is that taller guys get prettier girlfriends, allowing them to feel more confidence, which helps their mound presence. And let's not confuse "confidence" with "never gets lit up." Being confident can simply mean you're able to not give a poo poo when you get lit up, which generally translates to more innings, before getting hooked.

So reality officially reached the stereotype of Old Scout Guys depicted in Moneyball? "But does he have a hot girlfriend?" I don't know how accurate the given heights for players are. I'm sure most of them are accurate, but I think teams can fudge the official stats a bit if they like. Not by much, but enough to throw you off if you're making charts or stat records where a single inch matters. Some of this is cynicism on my part from seeing that they do fudge the numbers with weight, sometimes quite dramatically.

Mike Moustakas called back up and only like a week later. Glad he figured things out in such a short period of time. Really revolutionary.

Oh the picks that were like literally designed to help teams like Oakland that Oakland somehow didn't get because they dare to be well run, cool.

I'm sure some people do because they bought the Greedy Scherzer line the Tigers weirdly pushed this offseason.

Pumpkin McPastry posted:I'm sure some people do because they bought the Greedy Scherzer line the Tigers weirdly pushed this offseason. Those people are really dumb. Miguel Cabrera is now 1 home run behind Carlton Fisk for 71st overall, 2 behind Norm Cash and Jeff Kent, 3 behind Matt Williams, and 4 behind Orlando Cepeda and Tony Perez.

I've just assumed that the competitive balance picks are pretty much randomly assigned because that's the only way I can justify like half of them (maybe more).
