QUOTE=Lefty;67195]I hate this "well if you know so much about the game why aren't you working for an MLB team?" retort that flustered morons brandish about like some schoolyard kid getting teased for not having the "in" Goosebumps book. Like the MLB is the gold standard for recognizing and properly valuing traits in prospective employees (be they players, front-office personnel or whatever else). You know who the MLB didn't employ for a really long time? Black people.

Yes, there was a time when employment in the MLB was more dependent on skin color than aptness for the task(s) at hand. And while that has since change, the spirit is the same: a lot of people (even players, to an extent) go unemployed by the MLB simply because they are not in the right position at the right time.

With the rise of nepotism among many MLB franchises and the recent generational lag from the old guard "basebally" types to the businessmen of today, many people that are able to play, postulate, write and speak about this game go undiscovered simply because of the lack of an environment conducive to them being "discovered".

So don't dare devalue or improperly weight the opinions and hypotheses proposed by others simply because they are not in the employ of the MLB, because, as we've seen, the MLB itself is not even close to being the gold standard of equality in employment based on merit and skill.[/QUOTE]

so tell me what are you really trying to say here Lefty? Are you the man when it comes to baseball and feel that your the one with all the knowledge and right answers? or Are you agreeing with me that no one has all the correct answers and that no one should disrespect anyone just because they don't agree with your opinion? Cuz you said alot but didn't say enough and to top it off you quoted me and I'm long winded remember? and according to you wrong...[
