Posted Sunday October 14, 2012, About: Perceived value vs. true value: as a fan, which is preferable?

Great TD and a really interesting, original topic so kudos to MF, but I ultimately voted right. An angle I hadn't really thought of but that he touched on in his first argument that really swung me was the non-stat sheet portion. There's so much more to a player than just his stats, and if you don't see them playing in person, you may not pick up on it.

Posted Sunday October 14, 2012, About: Perceived value vs. true value: as a fan, which is preferable?

I understand what you're getting at, and I can see both sides of the coin on this TD and I think it's a really interesting topic. I'm really not sure which side I agree with. On the one hand, I'm tempted to agree with Nerby because I feel like I do feel that way about current players (specifically Jeter), but on the other hand, I think it's largely because he's played for my hometown team and has been the star of the team, more or less, since I've literally been 2 or 3 years old.

I think the way you feel about Jeter is how I feel about a guy like Chipper Jones or other greats from this generation, that I respect how great of a baseball player they are, but it would be hard for me to place them among the all time greats.

Posted Sunday October 14, 2012, About: Perceived value vs. true value: as a fan, which is preferable?

Maybe it's having Jeter on the team I root for and having him been in the MLB for literally longer than I can remember life, but I do view him as having that magic and mystique. Sure I see him as being human when he gets hurt or gets out, but it's not hard for me to imagine players like Ruth or Mays getting hurt or out and I know it happened to them too. It's a good topic, I found myself agreeing with right's choice, and his arguments have confirmed that opinion.

Posted Saturday October 13, 2012, About: Perceived value vs. true value: as a fan, which is preferable?

I disagree with this as well, but right still makes some strong points. I think the main thing here was right's first argument, that players like Rose had a great legacy and career in categories that can't be classified by statistics. I don't think it's really fair to predict what future legacies of current players will be, though.

What about when you get closer and it's no longer at a glance?

Would this qualify as a feud since the 90s?

I know the odds are odds, and I think it's more of an upset, I guess, but is a 3-1 team beating a 1-2 team an upset?

Big deal, I misread "since" as "in." At least I own up to it when I make a mistake as opposed to resorting to name calling and blaming people's insensitivity on a stupid TV show.

Oh, well I never read anything of yours too closely.

I didn't think about Hank because the TD title said from the 90s.... he wasn't in charge then.

You're not, but if you want to think so, then all the more power to you.

"9. Steinbrener being a tool towars his players..
george.. The guy that bit the dust.."

So he died because he was, according to you, a tool towards his players? Not because he was 80?

Good arguments by both, but WWJ swayed me more.

Strong arguments by both so far. Haven't voted on a TD for a while, but I'll check back in after they're all in.
