Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
“and…uh…kids! you need to look out for them” – the distinguished Carson Cistulli
The problem is an all inclusive draft is it would kill baseball for 16 year latin american kids because they are not competing against each other, but against for developed and older talents.
Players like Sano will get pushed down and get less money because they are simply so far away compared to a college arm or a high school bat.
They don’t have to sign. You can not sign. Not that I am any big fan of drafts personally.
Does Dave Cameron realize how much more relatable Carson Cistulli is than himself? Or how obvious it is that Carson’s just winding him up sometimes and that when he falls for it he looks like even more of a turd than usual? These are honest questions.
I mean, the guy’s openly dismissive to articles being written on his own site (I like Sullivan but this isn’t exactly groundbreaking material, or Wow, Carson this Newmac article is really going to drive traffic). I know this is not exactly a new idea, but for goodness’ sake, what a turd.
Meh I think Dave is just less interested in most than making little lies to make people feel better and like him more.
Yeah Cameron is really unlikable.
Wow, dave comes off as even more of a dick than usual in this one
It was not intended intentionally.
So, no more Dave Cameron analysis?
