<p>#Tampa would reject that deal because they can't afford Cruz, more than because they think Kiermaier is actually a better #Baseball player. :) But yes. According to B-ref...Kevin Kiermaier is about 2 wins better than Cruz at his very best...ummm...I think not.</p>
<p>fun fact - #Baseball Reference thinks Kevin Kiermaier of the Rays was worth 7.3 wins last year, 5.0 wins for his fielding alone. WHAAAA???</p>

<p>Let's go back #Baseball in the Shout Box for a while, what say. And #Politics in the dedicated areas ... even though I threw a quip in there too. Some amigos just come here for the #Baseball. :- ) Just my $0.02.</p>
<p>So - add content -> post -> then go to meta, find the SSI plus sign and open to find the #Baseball sub domain and check it, then do the body, and then the header, check your work in preview, and only then hit "save" and it should save into the right place. And unlike the old way, each time you hit save it saves a new copy to publish, not just updates the one you're working on, so edit in preview until you're done. Got it. Hope this helps others.</p>
<p>Ended up with multiple instances of the post. Can an Admin delete the first two? And move it to #Baseball?</p>

<p>(1) No #Baseball going on (2) Exciting #Politics right now (3) millions of words we've shed on #Baseball, vs a few thousand on #Politics, still way catching up (4) a remarkable set of members exchanging ideas with each other (5) no place else on the internet to roundtable peacefully (6) none of the above (7) all of the above</p>
<p>I see the Astros as our only serious competition in the west this year. They're young...they're good...and they're gaining experience and confidence. The Angels are cash-strapped and have one of the worst offenses in #Baseball to pair with a middling rotation. The Rangers, also cash-strapped, are depending a lot on rebounds from veteran pitchers who've spent a lot of time injured and the continued productivity of aging sluggers like Beltre and Fielder. The As aren't ready for prime time yet, though I never count them out entirely.
