Oscar Madison: You leave me little notes on my pillow. Told you 158 times I can’t stand little notes on my pillow. “We’re all out of cornflakes. F.U.” Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Ungar

I’m pretty sure the answer is nobody.

I’m sure Craig will let you try again.

It is close to zero within the context of negative infinity to positive infinity, but it is also most clearly negative value.

Preferably, all these teams would blackball this anti-Semitic, bigot, but I’d settle for a career ending injury as a last resort.

Plus Ruf isnt a spring chicken Young would probably get him another wasted year.

If he fields all that bad let him hit off the bench. You know you can do that when your owners arent as greedy as the Braves and actually will let you spend money.

And that was just his outfield defense…

Last year John Mayberry Jr. hit .271/.317/.494 against lefties, plus he can play decent defense and runs pretty well. I’d much rather see him than Young playing against lefties.

I posted that as an explanation for his poor defense.

He is scared of walls.

I was against this signing, but I’m reconsidering it.

You would think otherwise if you had to suffer thru an entire season of Young’s awful at bats and defensive butchery.
