Date	Question	Answer
2008-03-31 13:00:00	Is it just me, or is "Team X will score 1,000 runs this year" the most overused, useless prediction by TV analysts? I've heard it every year for several years now and it still hasn't happened. (Chip from Richmond)	It is overused, and far too easy to say, like "Rey Ordonez saves the Mets 100 runs a year with his glove," which I miss hearing, in a masochistic way, far more than I miss Ordonez himself. One of the things that would be more descriptive would be to qualify that relative to the league, or to simply say that the team is going to lead the majors in scoring. But they say 1000 because it's more hyperbolic and to some of us it will signify an all-time great offense... The Tigers, I think, won't come real close. They didn't come within a hundred runs last year. ...The Yankees, though, did. (Steven Goldman)

BP Roundtables

Date	Roundtable Name	Comment
2008-10-10 13:30:00	Friday LCS	"john (nyc): Is Jason Bartlett the next rey ordonez?" Rey Ordonez only had one year in his career where his EqA was higher than Bartlett's career mark of .258. Strangely enough, it was 2003, when he got 124 PA for the then-Devil Rays. If Rey Ordonez had a .258 EqA, he'd be in the Hall of Fame . (Derek Jacques)
