If you had to start a playoff series tomorrow with Danks, Quintana, Sale and Verlander (assuming all are equally rested), what order are you putting them in?

No, based on your assumptions your math is correct. 60% chance he goes 1 means there is a 40% chance he does not. 50% chance he goes 2 if available means that there is a 20% chance he goes 2 and a 20% chance he slips beyond 2 50% chance he goes 3 if available means that there is a 10% chance he goes 3 and a 10% chance he slips beyond 3. I'm not judging your assumptions one way or the other, just saying that based on your assumptions the math works out.

And then ARod, maybe. Probably not Darin Erstad though.

Another waste of time: You fill out an online job application that asks for a salary requirement. You fill in the salary requirement, get called for an interview, have the interview, and then get told that the starting salary for the position is 30% less than the amount you listed on the application. I actually asked the guy if he was too ignorant to notice my answer to too stupid to realize that he couldn't get me down 30% from that number.

Yeah, if only the Sox had a guy with a track record of teaching things to pitchers.

Why is Kolek falling?

I don't know that there was a huge market for Rios, regardless of the dollars involved.

Grade inflation happens for athletes at 95% of DI schools, but Stanford is in the other 5%.

The person driving the boat from Cuba to Mexico had to find him--at night--in the dark.

Lowrie went to Stanford.

I think I'd be very uncomfortable being one of his next door neighbors.

Obama made such a bad trade that Brian Sabean and Kevin Towers are mocking him for it.

ND was founded by a French Priest, but the nickname came about during a period when the football team had a high percentage of Irish.

Only comp picks can be traded, and the Sox don't have any of those.

OK fine, they should have drafted better, nobody disagrees with that, but that doesn't change the reality that in July 2013, dumping Rios for Garcia was the best move because it allowed the Sox to get Abreu.

Marty is pessimistic. In other shocking news, Siberia is cold and Kate Upton has huge tits.

That's WGN local, not WGN America. The only overlap programming between the two are sporting events and the evening news.

The problem is that if you fight to get the name changed, then you by definition are a Fighting Irish.

As a fat person I find that offensive.

If they took Rodon, and then failed to sign him for slot, I would have no choice but to flip over a table and four chairs.

Some of both. I want no part of Rodon.

At this point my draft board is: 1 Aiken 2 Kolek 3 Nola

I would put Abreu above Alexei, but I agree with your premise. The MLB average OPS for SS is .685. Alexei is sitting on .830 right now. If anything, I'm offering Alexei an extension through 2018 with 2019 option to line him up with Sale, Abreu and Quintana.
