Delmon Young will be weighed 6 times. He gets 100K each time he's under 230 first 3 weigh-ins and 100K each time if he's under 235 next 3.

Rube also called him a high character guy. Really.

Is this actually a real stipulation or is onion sports reporting this?

He's got almost the same dimensions I had at the start of the summer (he's an inch taller). Hmm

An actual stipulation, but Phillies have full control of when these weighings take place. So if Delmon decides to binge, they weigh him and hey presto he's lost 100k.

How many comments like these before we are allowed to say that he doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to player evaluation? He's good at many parts of his job, but this isn't one of those parts.

She'd try to push the oval shape through the square hole or the triangular shape through the star-shaped hole, etc. It was sometimes funny to watch and other times frustrating because I wanted her to figure it out. I expect I'll feel something similar this year watching Charlie try to use our collection of corner OFers. The positive sign is that my daughter has figured it out...... I'm wondering if Charlie can learn new tricks.


Well that's completely obnoxious


Needs more commas and run on sentences and obscure references but otherwise not a bad attempt at a Baumanism.



That's funny because I almost put /Bauman at the end of it, but I couldn't remember the name of the writer who always writes those things.I need to read more posted articles, I guess, or maybe just visit that thread more than once every 3 months.

JFLNYC wrote:It's not Delmon Young in isolation. The greater concern is the pattern here. Look, if the Phils had their 2009 starting OF, bringing in Delmon Young on a $750K contract as a backup OF and PH wouldn't be a bad move. But Rube seems to have a fetish for the least patient hitters in baseball. Time after time he goes after what PtK just called "known out makers." The result, as we've seen, is not only subpar production, but short innings, allowing opposing starters to go deeper into the game so we don't get into the opposition's middle relievers.

Not every guy in the lineup is going to be a patient OBP machine. But if you consistently fill your lineup with known out makers (I love that phrase), you're going to end up with a team that makes a ton of outs.



Yes, this. This is my main complaint. It's not any one signing, it's the collection and what they say about Rube's player evaluation. I've also made the point many times over the years about getting to team's middle relievers and what a huge advantage that is. The only thing I would add is the quick innings also get our pitcher back out there with little time to get a breather between innings. Signing too many guys like this causes synergistic effects that go beyond whether or not any one player makes too many outs. Having a bunch of high OBP guys just wears the other team's pitching down.
