Comments on: A Reactionary Tale of Padres Fans http://chickenfriars.com/2012/01/08/a-reactionary-tale-of-padres-fans/ A San Diego Padres Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More Sat, 15 Dec 2012 18:08:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: ChickenFriars http://chickenfriars.com/2012/01/08/a-reactionary-tale-of-padres-fans/comment-page-1/#comment-2473 ChickenFriars Tue, 10 Jan 2012 03:14:48 +0000 http://chickenfriars.com/?p=5046#comment-2473 @tomwaits213 That was one of the greatests analogies I've read on this trade or any trade. Listen, I think many CF readers do read the more Sabermetric sites, but I still don't see the problem with the trade. Again, I am fine with people disagreeing with the trade. I just want some discussion behind the disagreements. Also, you've inspired me. Check back tomorrow afternoon if you will and we will certainly continue the discussion about the trade itself rather than just fan reaction. @tomwaits213 That was one of the greatests analogies I’ve read on this trade or any trade.

I don't know which "reactions" you're judging, but the negative reactions I've seen, all over the interwebs, have been based almost entirely on the concept of value, not on emotions like "love" or "fear of the unknown." Maybe I read a more sabremetric cross-section of Padre sites, but I see a lot of people who think Byrnes used a $5 bill to buy a $3 cup of coffee, left the $2 as a tip, and then tossed another single on top of the counter as he walked away. @ChickenFriars

You can absolutely disagree with the trade. All I'd like to see is some logical reasoning behind the disagreement. For example, you gave the reasoning of Rizzo being a top-50 prospect. Fair enough, and a better argument than simply saying, "this trade is stupid!" You have some reasoning behind your feelings. That's all I'm looking for, and you rarely see that in reaction. Thanks for reading. And as a side note, I could go into a whole in-depth argument against simply disliking a trade based on one player's prospect rating vs another, but that's probably better for another time. @tomwaits213 You missed the point of this whole piece.
