But then again, the Raccoons' GM only has all the voices in my head for advice, the Mets were supposed to have an actual braintrust of actual human brains for statisticalities.  |
Ha, I have all kinds of sentimental idiosyncrasies but not that one... for all the nonsense "personality" ratings players get I think being surly over position in batting order is underrated. I never pay any attention to that "expected role" thing, I suppose it makes some of the bench players play worse than they might but I figure it is offset by playing better players in the lineup.
