    Fascinasting. I remember Nixon being a power mad individual but Hoover was the real mad dog.

    I just can't stand listening to him talk. He said that Carter is the everyday 1b not Bird. Play the kids you piece of Shit. :lol:

    ...can't find that quote anywhere...he must have mis-spoke or somethign because it makes no sense.

    ...Bird is/was projected to be the every day 1Bman and everything he's done this Spring (.417 .481 .958) should reaffirm hat...Carter on the other hand, was signed to be a backup 1Bman and nothing he's done this Spring (.182 .308 .318) should change anyone's mind.

    Got to agree on Bird, wonder what it might have been had Austin not gone down. Be willing to bet when Austin comes back Carter could be released or traded.

    I heard Michael Kay mention it on his show, it has something to do with the pitching. He said that Carter will start against Righties and Bird will start against lefties. We shall see what happens once the Season starts.

    ^^^makes no sense...Carter is not only a defensive liability at 1B, he's also actually a lettle better offensively vs LHed pitching as opposed to RHed pitching (.217 .303 .466 .769)..Bird, on the other hand, is much better than Carter vs RHed pitching. (.270 .341 .574 .915 )

    ...I just don't see the logic.

    ...I think Carter might get some ABs vs the tougher LHers in the AL (Chris Sale for example) but I gotta believe that Bird will still get the lions share of starts at 1B...plus there will likely be some days off early in the season for Bird considering he's coming off surgery.
