best_bets has contributed tons of great, informative, actionable

But you look foolish as all hell if you think his thread here is so stupid and yet you post in it !!
Teams feel Mgt believes in their season enough to buy 'em help;
that can spark a team, motivating 'em to go on a run.
Tulo would be criticized on mass media to the point of ridicule
were he not one of the "Chosen" - his Ashkenazic Last Name
spares him what best_bets herein identifies and delivers.
Tulo makes $20,000,000 - the most on the team - because he goes
to the same $ynagog as Epstein's Lester (also highest paid on Cubs)
Nobody in their right mind has Tulo worth more than any other BJ -
just as Lester isn't worth more than any other Cub, especially Arrieta.
If he had a John Lackey type salary this year of only $500 k
than there's no reason to expect more from him - but at $20,000,000.
Tulo needs his little league park in Colorado to pad his stats to
justify his overpay - while in a super slump (unless he just stinks).
Tulo cannot totally stink, can he?
And yet the Cubs 2nd or 3rd or even 4th string Shortstop is a
better player, better hitter, younger, faster, and at 40 times less cost.
