We should make a list of crappy journalists to go in the OP

It might just be easier to make a list of good journalists.

Chris Getz aaaaagh. Also Yuni but he's been a not-awful shortstop this year.

To be fair, Getz can't stay healthy for more than a week anyway.

Victim blaming alert beep beep

Now that's terrible journalism.

Especially since he gets the victim's name wrong throughout the article. :psyduck:

Forever. I'm considering rededicating the entire forum to his blog.

Be sure to highlight his versatility

Posnanski has an article up that does a better job articulating his comments in the classroom than just a bunch of tweets.

The Illinois government has apologized for Al Yellon on numerous occasions. :mad:

Yeah, SBNation has done a good job of getting actual talent, but Yellon is awful.

Wow, that truly is an awful article. It's amazing how many people can go "I understand stats" and then completely miss the point.

Just FYI, Tony Armas' line in the year that he criticizes Bill James for calling him the worst center fielder in baseball was .218/.254/.453 for a wonderful 85 OPS+, and he even led the league by grounding into 31 double plays.

So I cancelled my Athletic free trial. It's pretty good, but just didn't have quite enough stuff about what I cared about or wanted to read. I think I wanted it to be like the old Ringer site + local coverage, which is probably not a good expectation. Anyone who is thinking about, if you sign up you get a 7 day free trial and if you hit cancel they'll give you another 7 days, all before they charge. So if you cancel before the 14 you won't pay for anything.

I hope you mean the old Grantland site, because Ringer has always been underwhelming.
