It is actually around the 3:30 time slot, and it is a very good interview so far.

He doesn't sound like a hardcore Sabremetrician. <!--coloro:#0000FF--><!--/coloro-->(IOW, he's heard a few of the buzzwords, like OPS, but what he's really looking for are 5-tool guys...you, know, <i>athletes</i>.)<!--colorc-->

Fixed.
Sounds as if what I was reading between the lines (from my earlier post yesterday) was 100% correct. I can just imagine Ricketts and Hendry and Gary Hughes sitting around, planning out our team's future. Whee.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
