  1. I wish Morgan could have spent his entire career with the Astros.

    His averages for the first 6 years with the Reds (1972-1977)

    R - 113, HR - 22, RBI - 84, SB - 60, BB - 118, BA - .302, OBP - .430, OPS - .926

    Probably the best 6 year period for any 2nd Basemen except for Rogers Hornsby.

  2. Sanchez needs to talk to Nolan Ryan about the blisters issue. He used pickle brine to toughen the skin and then a surgical scalpel to shave off excess skin.

    If that doesn't work, Moises Alou has some suggestions.

    First time poster, long time reader. I'm looking for a forum to get inside - intelligent recruiting updates.  A place friendly enough for me to feel like there are no such things as stupid questions.  Have I found it?

    There are no stupid questions.

    Just stupid people who ask questions.

    May have something to do with the fact he's almost 10 years beyond mandatory retirement.  They tend not to let almost-70 year olds be Captains, let alone 2-stars.  

    He would be an almost-60 year old.....and it's the movies.

    If an officer goes 30 some years without a promotion, wouldn't he have been run out of the Navy by then?

    Who said he has gone 30 years without a promotion? 

    He just hasn't been promoted as much as he should have been, and probably hit his ceiling at captain.

    According to The Navy Officer Ranking a Captain (where Maverick is currently) is three levels above Lieutenant (where Maverick was in Top Gun).

    A 2 star Admiral is two levels above Captain.

    So instead of being promoted 5 times, he has just been promoted 3 times.....assuming he hasn't been demoted at any time.
