Young-player skills/old-player skills as a concept goes back to Bill James, but it doesn’t necessarily correlate with body type. Draper got it closer with the FanGraphs study he cited (and thanks for that).

The fuck it isn’t. 101 is a mess from Marin County to Morgan Hill, housing prices in 408 and south 650 are just as bad as the city, and the worst parts of downtown San Jose are no better as the worst parts of S.F.

If you’re wondering why and how shit like this always happens in San Francisco, you should read the 2009 SF Weekly cover story by Joe “I exposed the inner workings of Bleacher Report and all I got was this lousy Deadspin AMA” Eskenazi and Benjamin Wachs that labeled S.F. “The Worst-Run Big City in the U.S.”

I’m surrounded by some of the greatest Kinja of all time.

MCL figured me out.
