  1. Hey man,

    My comment was in regard to this paragraph in your story:

    "If Sabathia walks after a Brewer golf tournament in October, the Brewers front office is going to be taking the heat with nothing to show for the trade of the season, except for maybe the loss of several key prospects."

    While the Brewers will have lost key prospects they traded for Sabathia, they'll likely get two valuable compensatory draft picks for a free agent of his stature leaving their team (if he does leave). That's how the A's got all their draft picks in Moneyball, with several high-performance players leaving that offseason.

    Hope that clears up what I meant.

    -Tim

  2. Hey man, thanks for the feedback. I just wondered though (and not in like an asshole "What the hell do you mean?" kind of way) what you meant by too opinionated. The entire article is kind of based on opinion (ie.this is how I think the season will play out), but I thought that I did a good job of integrating plausible stats to back up my opinion (then again I'm biased). I'm just curious and wondering if you wouldn't mind expanding on that? Again, thanks for reading.

  3. Hey Tim,

    I hope you've been enjoying the new and improved Bleacher Report—we're really happy with the feedback we've received so far.

    Just thought I'd let you know that next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements, and thus it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Tim!

    Zander
