You want 'definitions!' Well, let me tell you something, definitions belong in dictionaries, and dictionaries are books! And we all know that there aren't any books in baseball. The game is an oral tradition, passed down at the seat of a mustachio'd master as one pays their dues paying AA ball in Southern Indiana. If one has not undergone the secretive rites of passage that turn a Ball Boy into a Baseball Man, you can never understand that Adam Jones was just a prospect or that if the Mariners won 88 games, they are an 88 win team and that is that. Trying to determine otherwise based on the 'rules' in a 'book' just makes you look stupid, and wimpy.

With a name like "Keith Law," he should be bayoneting commies instead of writing nancy little sports pieces.

why he doesn't deserve to be in the BBWAA. That grand perch of journalism is reserved for lords of the parchment such as Woody Paige.

I also have lots of faith that he will be sitting his ass in Tacoma while Wilkerson sucks and Ibanez waves his dick at the train.

Silva's contract is bad, but he's a useful and durable pitcher who's under 30. Fair market value for him would have been like 4/40.
