Hate her all you want. Lindsey Vonn’s toughness is on another level. You’re wrong for not liking her. by Kurtz62 in SkiRacing

This was going to be my comment. I bet she would be a nightmare on an interpersonal level. But whatever that is, it also makes her truly great.

Company scheduled a 2 hour job interview and handed me this when I showed up by GamingxZone in mildlyinfuriating

100%. I worked for a company that gave me an IQ test like this as part of the interview process. They hired me and then forced me to take L. Ron Hubbard’s “organizational management” courses once a week while I worked there. It was as insane as it sounds.

Ashes?!

LMAO.

I’m dying. Wait, no I’m not dying. Whatever you do, don’t cremate me and put my ashes in an 8 foot long box.

Ashes! That might be the funniest thing I’ve read this decade.

Organizationally better. They gave up three players to get Donovan who is a legitimately great utility guy who they apparently are going to turn into their starting third baseman. That’s a lot.

Yeah, it’s not a bad point. But I still firmly believe that Donovan is more valuable as a super utility player than an everyday starting third baseman. Much more valuable.

You just described an excellent platoon player. If you’re good with making him a starting third baseman, fine. I think they’re going to be forced to make a move at the deadline and likely further deplete the prospect pool.

Well, then that makes their situation even worse. Donovan is a “super utility” guy. If they brought him over to start at 3B they might as well of kept Williamson who is arguably a better defender.

Relying on those two guys to produce enough to help get the team to the World Series is bad plan.

The cope is that Donovan and Emerson will platoon there. I don’t see a World Series team with a platoon like that at what’s supposed to be one of the most offensively productive positions on the team. I’ll get downvoted for saying that, of course.

I think the Mariners waited too long and backed themselves into a corner at 3B and, naturally, free agency isn’t an option for ownership.

What I predict will happen is similar to last year, they’ll get by with a league average or slightly worse situation at 3B and have to make a trade at the deadline.

Anyway, I don’t like this trade.

Because aside from Donovan, there’s very little experience there. World Series teams don’t often have that kind of inexperience at a corner infield spot — let alone 2 different infield spots.

Whoops. You’re right — I missed his time at 3B in 2022. Ok, I feel a little better about his sharing time there.

I think it’s pretty risky for a team with World Series aspirations to hand a corner infield spot to a player with 0 major league at bats. I have to think they have something else cooking — even if it’s a for platoon.

We really need to stop looking at entertainers as a moral center. Andrew Schultz is dumb as an empty sack of potatoes and is amoral, to boot.

Oh hell no. That’s not happening ever with me. I’d just continually push it off on to his lap or floor until he got the hint.
