GM Doug Melvin: "Greinke Will Be Traded"
Again, a pitcher leading the major leagues in two statistical categories. Myself, I'd be more concerned about how he pitched in the playoffs last year than 14 innings pitched in July if I was a GM making that decision. Good strategy - I'm sure personal attacks will get people to come around... -

GM Doug Melvin: "Greinke Will Be Traded"
Right. Because if it just happened once, and he didn't need 9 days to "get it right" in at least 11 other starts this year, you would obviously use the sample size of 1 instead of the sample size of 11. -

GM Doug Melvin: "Greinke Will Be Traded"
In case you couldn't read sheetskout's post, it said he has the BEST WAR this year for any pitcher (including all of his "not-good" months). He also has the BEST FIP and SECOND-BEST xFIP in all of the major leagues. It's a shame he hasn't done better though since you've obviously watched every... -

Went fishing for Trout in my 5000 ct boxes and pulled a monster!
Seems like the genius posts always get passed over, so I'm doing my sworn duty to make sure that does not happen this time. -

The National League ROY goes to......
You are definitely not alone - and unless your idea of a good time is counting days on the 25-man roster for a player, a perfectly understandable oversight. Personally, although the Brewers have not much to tout this year, they do have a pretty good pair of eligible rookies, though probably not... -

Hanley to tha Dodgers
I don't get all the hate for Eovaldi. I saw him pitch in the game against Milwaukee, and he looked pretty good to me. He's only a year older than Turner, and has pitched better than him at the big league level - and just as good at the minor league level. I won't argue that Turner isn't a better... -

LOL guy in my office comments on the ARod injury
That would have caused me to spew my morning beverage for sure. Larry Bernandez aka "Mr. Jitters". There are few things more LOL than overhearing people in the office talking about baseball. I have overheard/been part of some hard-to-believe Brewers discussions this year alone. -

And yet I still hold onto my Trout Sterling auto for some reason. Just a little inner-brouhaha between the collector in me and the flipper in me. -

Honus Wagner PSA 10 ?!?!
Amazing find of course, but I don't get why there are quite a few non-mint cards mixed in. Why so many 2.5 Hans Wagners? Why are the majority of the George Mullins 5s? -

Who is your NL MVP at this point in the season?
Nor is reading comprehension your friend apparently. I didn't say "vast difference" either. You implied that .014 OPS points is somehow a number worth differentiating between Braun and Wright, yet just rounded up Wright's RBI total to somehow make it "just as many" as Braun. What is factual... -

Who is your NL MVP at this point in the season?
You can see why no one would take your thoughts seriously if you're voting for Melky Cabrera ahead of Ryan Braun as MVP, no? As hive17 pointed out, you're just hating on him. Which is fine - I don't like Braun either. But I wouldn't go ahead and vote Melky Cabrera as more valuable than Braun... -

For those that list graded and raw cards on ebay...
I'm actually going to do the same thing on a card I recently bought, but the seller was my LCS, so it's not really quite the same. That's pretty cool that they would follow up like that. And like I mentioned above, something that I would consider when making a bid. So they're not really... -

For those that list graded and raw cards on ebay...
Well, good thing it did because it seems like they were waiting on a grade to give you feedback. If it came back an 8.5, I wonder what your feedback would have been? (obviously not implying that this would happen in your auctions, or even that you would deserve anything other than positive... -

For those that list graded and raw cards on ebay...
That is true, but it's also another way of saying that you're only going to pick out the best of the best to get graded, so the more flawed cards are going to be the ones that you sell raw. And certainly consignments throw a wrinkle into this. But if it doesn't hurt your sales, then the OP... -

For those that list graded and raw cards on ebay...
Well, no one would identify you as a seller of graded cards then - all of your graded cards are going into your own collection. In the example I used, this was a Heyward collector who was selling off his collection, and all the raw ones I bought appeared to be ones he didn't grade because of... -

For those that list graded and raw cards on ebay...
I'm not really answering your question, but as a buyer, I will not bid as much on raw cards from a seller with graded cards. I learned the hard way with some Heywards from a seller that looked fine in the scan, but all but one came with some noticeable flaw. Once I realized that, I started... -

No Home Run Derby for Harper
And I'm hardly taking a shot at Harper by saying his power is not quite the power of Stanton. But I don't think he has as much as Stanton, which is what you said the first time. -

No Home Run Derby for Harper
I guess Jim Callis does, for one. But I haven't seen anyone else break the scoreboard at Marlins Park. I can't even find someone who has hit 2 450-foot HRs this year, and Stanton has hit 3 over 455 feet. Last year, Stanton hit HRs of 417 feet on average. Kemp and Uggla were 2nd and 3rd on...
