Older area of the park has very small and close together sites. New area has bigger, more open sites but are mostly filled with seasonal trailers. We were in the older part of the park and had trouble get into our site because of tree branches. Several of their trees need to be trim up. - repeterson

L.A. Noire GameStop Preorder Bonuses Confirmed
Written Friday, February 25, 2011 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Preordering LA Noire at GameStop in North America will entitle you to receive two exclusive items of downloadable content, the retailer and Rockstar have announced. You'll be able to get your mitts on an entire bonus case from LA Noire's Vice desk as well as an exclusive extra challenge with a preorder from GameStop.
"We are particularly excited to be partnering with Rockstar Games on LA Noire as it is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated video games in the first half of 2011," said Bob McKenzie, senior vice president of merchandising at GameStop. "The robust nature of the exclusive content is exactly what our customers have come to expect from Rockstar Games and GameStop."
Entitled 'The Naked City, the exclusive preorder case has Cole Phelps investigating the apparent suicide of a beautiful fashion model, as part of the overarching narrative in which the death of a woman is not all that it seems. Phelps will have to unravel the truth and get to the heart of the case.
The second preorder DLC item is the 'Badge Pursuit Challenge', which tasks Phelps with collecting 20 police badges hidden around the game's rendition of 1947 Los Angeles. Upon finding and grabbing all 20, you'll unlock the 'Button Man suit', which adds extra ammo for every weapon. Each badge also provides additional XP to help him rank up.
LA Noire is out on May 17th in North America and is available to preorder from GameStop for $59.99. Keep an eye out for more LA Noire on the site soon!

Red carpet regulars all share one secret: their reliance on these durable sticky strips to keep wardrobe mishaps at bay. Hollywood Fashion Tape® lets you wear your favorite statement pieces with confidence by keeping pesky straps in place, shortening hems, and securing plunging necklines. After all, any paparazzi-phobic celeb will tell you that not all exposure is good exposure.
I have that unfortunate problem most ladies complain about- when your gorgeous blouse that fits you perfectly everywhere else gaps at your bust. But these little pieces of tape save the day. I always need to hem my pants when I wear flats instead of heels and using these little strips are perfect for a temporary hemming. The accessory dots are ridiculous, however. I don't think I can ever recall once needing to tape down a scarf. And if I did, a tiny piece of tape wouldn't hold it down.5

The RV park was crowded on the day before Labor Day but the park managers (great people) graciously found us a spot. The RV next door took up both spigots for water but we didn't really need it. Not the park's fault, but they gave us tent camper status for our tiny Casita. People staying at the park were nice and grass was nice along with a concrete walkway. - Thatchbox20

This is one of those hidden gems you find occasionally. Sure the RV spot was on dirt (but level) and there was not many "amenities," but great Wi-Fi, plenty of space and a full hook up in a rural area with views of the lake. It was great. - MarkD

On the Origin of Species - Oxford World's Classics (Paperback)Charles Darwin, Gillian Beer
Paperback Published: 13/11/2008
- 10+ in stock
Click & Collect From your local shop
'can we doubt ...that individuals having any advantage, however slight, over others, would have the best chance of surviving and of procreating their kind?' In the Origin of Species (1859) Darwin challenged many of the most deeply held beliefs of the Western world. His insistence on the immense length of the past and on the abundance of life-forms, present and extinct, dislodged man from his central position in creation and called into question the role of the Creator. He showed that new species are achieved by natural selection, and that absence of plan is an inherent part of the evolutionary process. Darwin's prodigious reading, experimentation, and observations on his travels fed into his great work, which draws on material from the Galapagos Islands to rural Staffordshire, from English back gardens to colonial encounters. The present edition provides a detailed and accessible discussion of his theories and adds an account of the immediate responses to the book on publication. The resistances as well as the enthusiasms of the first readers cast light on recent controversies, particularly concerning questions of design and descent. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Lens recommendations differ A6000/A77m2

Lens recommendations differ A6000/A77m2
I have been looking to purchase the A6000 but also considering the new A77m2, I presently have the older A77, when reading the threads for lens recommendation for the A6000 for a travel all in one lens the recommendation is the Sony 18-200 LE with the need for the firmware upgrade from Sony- V.02, as one requires a lens to have phase detect autofocus to fully make use of the 179 phase detection points for autofocus tracking, this does not seem to be an issue for the A77m2 though it has 79 phase detect points. What am I missing here as to the difference other than the number of focus points or does the 77m2 use the contrast points for auto focus tracking.
This question has not been answered yet.

Dollar Tree's 4Q profit falls on lower sales
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Dollar Tree Inc. said Wednesday that its fourth-quarter net income fell nearly 7 percent as severe weather and a shorter holiday selling period hurt the discount retailer's sales.
Its results for the quarter and its forecast for full year 2014 fell short of Wall Street expectations.
The Chesapeake, Va., company earned $213 million, or $1.02 per share, for the period ended Feb. 1. That's down from $228.6 million, or $1.01 per share, in the year-ago period that included an extra week.
Analysts polled by FactSet expected earnings of $1.05 per share.
Revenue fell less than one percent to $2.23 billion. Analysts expected revenue of $2.28 billion.
Sales at established stores rose more than a percent. That comparison is a key gauge of a retailer's health. It excludes the volatility associated with stores that recently opened or closed.
"It was a challenging quarter best characterized as a short selling season, and persistently bad weather," CEO Bob Sasser said in a conference call with investors. "We had a great plan that was well executed. When the stores were open and customers could shop, our results were more accurately reflective of the underlying strength of our business."
The top-performing categories during the quarter included products at the checkout counter, frozen and refrigerated products, stationary, candy and party supplies.
Dollar stores offer a wide variety of products, from beach toys to vitamins. They have done well throughout the recession and its aftermath, attracting budget-conscious customers. They've also promoted themselves as easy to navigate and get to, because they're much smaller than big-box stores like Wal-Mart and Target, and often have more locations in cities.
For the full year, the company said its profit fell more than 3 percent to $596.7 million, or $2.72 per share, from $619.3 million, or $2.68 per share, a year ago. Revenue rose to $7.84 billion from $7.39 billion a year earlier. Same store sales rose 2.4 percent.
Dollar Tree expects a full-year 2014 profit of $2.91 to $3.13 per share on revenue between $8.35 billion and $8.58 billion. Analysts expect earnings of $3.25 on revenue of $8.59 billion.
It plans to open 375 new stores during the current fiscal year.
Dollar Tree operates more than 4,990 stores in the U.S. and Canada.
Despite missing Wall Street expectations, its shares rose $3.37, or 6.4 percent, to $56.06 in midday trading.

(*Chamerlain, Jeff Hyde, Clint Daniels)
I can love you in the morning*
I can love you all day
I can love you even more when I get home
I can love you every second
To the ends of the earth
Where needing you's the only thing that's on
My broken one track mind
Girl, I love you crazy
It comes so easy, after all we had
I could love you with all my heart
But the hardest part is
I just can't love you back
I could write a thousand letters
Call a hundred times a day
Or try to drown my sorrow at the bar
I could go down to the church
Get on my knees and pray
But it still won't change the way things really are
Won't bring you back again
[Repeat Chorus:]
I can love you for all I'm worth
To the ends of the earth
But I just can't love you back

development by Pindarthe greatest lyric poet of ancient Greece and the master of epinicia, choral odes celebrating victories achieved in the Pythian, Olympic, Isthmian, and Nemean games.
style of Greek literatureIn ancient Greece an early distinction was made between the poetry chanted by a choir of singers (choral lyrics) and the song that expressed the sentiments of a single poet. The latter, the melos, or song proper, had reached a height of technical perfection in "the Isles of Greece, where burning Sappho loved and sung," as early as the 7th century bc. That poetess, together...Choral lyric was associated with the Dorian parts of the Greek mainland and the settlements in Sicily and south Italy, whereas poetry for solo performance was a product of the Ionian coast and the Aegean Islands. Thus choral song came to be conventionally written in a Doric dialect.
use of Doric dialectThe artificial dialect of literary choral lyric is Doric interspersed with Ionic epic and some Lesbian poetry. Its first poet was Eumelus of Corinth (8th century bc). The type of Doric used by Alcman (fl. late 7th century bc) is very similar to his Laconian vernacular (Laconia is the area around Sparta). From the time of Simonides of Ceos and Pindar (c. 500 bc) onward, many Doric...
work of StesichorusGreek poet known for his distinctive choral lyric verse on epic themes. His name was originally Teisias, according to the Byzantine lexicon Suda (10th century ad). Stesichorus, which in Greek means "instructor of choruses," was a byname derived from his professional activity, which he practiced especially in Himera, a town on the northern coast of Sicily.

While the Rhinos go into the fifth-round tie on the back of an eight-match unbeaten run, the Giants' five-match winning streak came to an abrupt halt with a 34-12 defeat by the Wolves.
"Based on form throughout the year, they're favourites," said McDermott. "They're higher up in the league than we are, they've scored more points than us and they've beaten more teams than us."
Although Leeds have not won the cup since 1999, they are aiming to reach the final for the fourth successive year and Anderson admits he would love his side to emulate their record in knock-out football.
"The thing with Leeds is they have a big history in big games," he said.
"That's the key for them and it's what we want to try and emulate."
Anderson is hoping their home defeat by Warrington will prove to be a temporary blip as they seek to remain on course for the last eight.
"We've generally responded well in the past when our backs have been to the wall," he added.
"It's a big game, it's live on TV and there's been a big initiative with tickets to try and get a big crowd."
McDermott expects to field the team that beat Bradford 42-22 last Friday, with former England captain Jamie Peacock overcoming a knee injury sustained in that match.

The Jackets show commitment to Bobrovsky, the face of their franchise
Cam Lewis
January 10 2015 12:15AM
It really wasn't that long ago that Sergei Bobrovsky was dumped by the Philadelphia Flyers to the Columbus Blue Jackets for a collection of draft picks. Geez, they grow up so fast, don't they? As we all know, the Flyers ended up buying out Ilya Bryzgalov while Bobrovsky went on to win the Vezina trophy. Columbus sent a message loud and clear that they won't make the same mistake that the Flyers made, as they opened up their wallets for the new face of their franchise.
The Leafs are pressed right up against the cap, something's gotta give
Cam Lewis
January 09 2015 10:47AM
It doesn't take much analysis to realize that things are pretty rotten in Toronto. After firing Randy Carlyle, the Leafs came out and laid an egg at home, getting shelled 6-2 by the Washington Capitals. The Leafs, who are 2-8-0 in their last 10 games, are quickly slipping out of playoff contention in the Eastern Conference, and with their current salary cap situation, it's going to be really difficult for them to do anything about it.

Cam Lewis
January 08 2015 02:19PM
When it comes to the Trade Deadline, there's buyers, there's sellers, and then there's the Calgary Flames who are floating around somewhere in Purgatory. While they may not have planned to be buyers at the deadline, of all teams in the league, they might actually be in the best position to do so.
Top Goalies of the 2015 World Juniors
Josh W
January 08 2015 09:00AM
With the World Juniors over we can go back and look at how teams and performed over the tournament. Much like scouts ranking Crouse at #3 in prospect rankings, we can use this small sample size to making sweeping generalizations about these players.
One of the fun areas to analyze is goalies given how difficult they are to predict, how easily they are affected by variances and how much they can effect the results of games. So let's use what we know about goaltender analytics to see which were the best goaltenders of the tournament.

A nice stomach is something that no one wants to go without! But what is a nice stomach? A flat stomach, sure. How about nice, firm skin? Or, hey, even "tattoos"?!
Method One of Two:
Lose Fat while Gaining MuscleEdit
1Getting a strong core requires building muscle. However, if there is even one layer of fat over that muscle, it won't show! That's why most workouts require both.
2Do exercises like squats and crunches. The abs' primary job is to work with your lower back muscles to help you stand straight. Squats use both regions to strengthen everything. Find out the correct way here.
3Follow the steps on "Get Six Pack Abs" to get your stomach to the condition you want it in. Remember, you don't need a six pack and using this page won't give you a rock hard guy stomach if you're a girl and don't want one. Check it out and mold it to fit your needs and wants.
Method Two of Two:
Keep your Skin Looking HealthyEdit
1Tan. Many people like to tan their skin, whether through spray-tans, self-tanner, tanning booths, or the good-old-fashioned way, so make sure you let your stomach catch some rays with a bikini. Put on plenty of sunblock if you tan outside! You don't want a sunburn.
2Be OCD about putting on lotion. Find a lotion that works for you. If you have stretch marks, there are some lotions that claim to help your body get rid of them!
3If you find something like a mole on your stomach that changes colors, shapes, or wasn't there before, have it checked by a dermatologist or doctor as it could be a sign of skin cancer.
4Drink lots and lots of water. Having hydrated skin will keep your skin healthy, firm, and youthful.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Don't be discouraged if you don't immediately get the effects you want.
- Try adding a tan too! They're fun, easy to do, and fade away. You can always redo them with no harm to yourself. (I.e. A star on your stomach that's a lighter skin tone than the rest of your body looks both cool and original!)
- Don't do this for someone else's benefit. Do it for you because YOU want to look absolutely fabulous.
- Always drink lots of water! Hydrated skin is happy skin.
- Sometimes, your genetics say that this layer of fat is necessary and trying to rid yourself of it could cause more harm than good. Talk to a doctor and never push yourself further than you should.
- Always be careful to read directions and safety precautions on self-tanners, tanning booths, lotions, etc. And wear sunscreen if you are going to tan naturally to avoid skin cancer and sunburn.

Laursen Blog: Wearing that Villa badge at Anfield is amazing
14th Dec 2012
I loved playing at Anfield. The place has got a great history, the fans sing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' before you come out on to the pitch, it's something you can only enjoy.
I felt very proud before I entered the arena. I was the captain leading my team into battle. It was massive.
These stadiums that have so much history, that you have heard so much about, you have seen games on the television, to be able to play there you should be really up for it.
We have a lot of young, emerging players. The future is bright for Villa under Paul Lambert in my opinion. And this will be a good test for these guys.
Some of our players have probably never played at Anfield before, those like Matt Lowton, Ashley Westwood, Andreas Weimann.
They have done fantastically well so far and this will be a great occasion for them.
I always believe that it's fine playing Liverpool at a packed Villa Park with the crowd behind you. But it's tough to play Liverpool at Anfield with the fans on your back.
That's why it's a good test - but one I think our players can thrive in!
The guys should be fully focused and follow the manager's instructions to the letter but also they should enjoy the experience. That way they will produce their best, in my opinion!
Before they enter the pitch, they need to think about just what it means to be wearing that Villa badge in a big match against Liverpool at Anfield.
Then they need to go out and give it absolutely everything. Don't hold anything back! Don't leave anything out there!
Villa can win the game, no question. The win at Norwich should give them confidence.
It was a fantastic victory and a tremendous performance. They need to play that way again. More of the same please! They need that confidence to flow again.
I think Christian Benteke will be key at Anfield. If he plays well, Villa play well.
I believe he can give the likes of Daniel Agger and Martin Skytel real problems on Saturday. He's great.
I have already talked a lot about him whenever I've been asked about Villa in my media work.
He is so, so strong, he works his socks off, he's a part of everything Villa does.
He's the focal point of the team. He's involved in throw-ins, corner-kicks, everything really. He is very, very important.
I know the fans love him, they have really taken to him and he'll love that respect from the crowd. It's an amazing feeling - I know all about it!
I know what it's like to be a favourite with the fans. He has it now. It's a massive honour and you feel so proud.
You know that you have done something good when they sing your name. You can sense that they are happy with you and what you're doing for the team.
You want to continue doing well for them - you want to hear them shouting your name all the time, in every game and many times during the game!
I think Laursen v Benteke would have been a good clash! I'm not sure if I could have won that battle?
Unfortunately, no-one will ever know. The fans will never see it.
But he's a great player. He's perfect for the Premier League in the way he plays. He will be a massive success for Aston Villa.
Another player I'd like to pick out is Brad Guzan, who I was with at Villa during my very happy there.
I am delighted for him that he is playing regularly in the Premier League now.
He wasn't doing that when I was there because Brad Friedel was in such good form - and still is!
Brad Friedel played every league game. He never got injured. That was amazing!
It was difficult for Brad Guzan to get in because Brad Friedel was playing so well. But we could all see he was a good professional and he was a great goalkeeper.
It is great to see him playing first team football now at Villa after so many years of being second goalkeeper.
Even during his time as No.2, his role was vital, in my opinion. He brought quality to the training sessions. I am sure Brad Friedel would say that he performed well week-in and week-out thanks to Brad Guzan.
He was very professional and worked so, so hard. He provided that competition and good work ethic in training at Bodymoor.
People like Brad Guzan are the sort of people you want to be successful. You want them to do well. I am delighted he has a place in the team now.
He's playing very, very well too. He shouts, he helps out his defensive players, he helps the whole team with the way he plays. He's very vocal and that's one of the most important things as a goalkeeper.
He's very secure with his feet, he's a good shot-stopper, he's excellent in the air, he's superb.
He can be Villa's goalkeeper for the next 10 years plus. That would be good because it creates an identity between player and club for many years. Even from a financial perspective, it's a great thing too because you don't have to keep going into the market to buy a new No.1 every few years.
Everyone hopes and wants Brad to continue to do well because he's a nice guy, he's a good guy, so professional, a great goalkeeper - he's got everything there.
He must be doing well to be keeping Shay Given out of the team. That says everything about his quality.
Respect to Brad for that. Shay is a great goalkeeper. For Brad to keep him out of the team? That shows the measure of the man!

Aloeng Vang killed St. Paul man who confronted him over his reckless driving
Aloeng Vang
Aloeng Vang, 19, has been charged with second-degree murder for allegedly shooting and killing his neighbor, Jeffrey Elling, after Elling confronted him over his reckless driving early Sunday morning.

According to police, Elling, 50, was sitting on the porch of his East Side home on the 1400 block of York Avenue with his girlfriend around 3 a.m. when they observed an animal run across the street. They got off the porch and were attempting to follow the critter when a car raced down York, nearly hitting them. Elling then went to confront the driver, who stopped his car after speeding past the couple.
A Fox 9 report tells the story from there:
Vang got out of the car when Elling went to confront him and pushed him. Vang appeared intoxicated and fell to the ground from the push, charges said. The two men continued to talk, but then Vang went inside 1435 York Avenue and Elling and his girlfriend returned to sit on their front steps.
Several minutes later, a woman approached Elling and asked about the altercation with Vang. Elling said he was upset about Vang's driving, then he and his girlfriend went inside their home. Shortly thereafter, Elling got up to answer the door while his girlfriend sat in the kitchen. As Elling opened the door, his girlfriend heard two shots and the glass front door shatter, then saw Elling fall out onto the front steps and out of view.
Officers arrived and pronounced Elling dead at the scene, a bullet hole at the base of the front of his neck and shirt saturated with blood. His right leg was on the front stoop and left foot inside the home on the entry mat.
According to police, as officers investigated the murder scene that morning, Vang approached them and said, "I'm the guy you're looking for." He said he regretted shooting Elling and "should have just whooped his ass" instead.
KARE 11, citing the complaint, reports that Vang's wife and girlfriend both told investigators he was upset Elling had pushed and "disrespected" him.

Friends and industry colleagues come together each October for the annual Xperts Fantasy League (or XFL) draft. The 40-man roster league offers the ultimate challenge – an auction draft before MLB free agents have even hit the open market, conducted with no supporting materials allowed.
Each team is granted up to 15 keepers, in any combination of established players and prospects. Salaries of players initially acquired as minor leaguers escalate annually at $3 per year instead of the regular $5.
One of the unusual dynamics of this 15-team league is that it does not take long after each season gets underway to ascertain whether or not one has a competitive roster.
As the league is currently conducting its annual free-for-all, er…discussion about potential rules changes, several vocal league owners aired criticisms over the rash of what they consider to be "dump trades" too early in the season.
In 2014, a number of teams made deals in which they sent established players to contending owners in return for younger, cheaper talent. These trades began in earnest by late May, less than two months into the season.
Owner complaints seemed focused on the supposed increased stratification of the standings, making the league less competitive from top to bottom, coupled with a desire by some to implement various penalties on rebuilding teams that "dump."
Oddly, some of my peers seem to forget that it takes two to trade. The few proposals raised that might penalize contending teams for gobbling up the best players from the dumpers were initially met with general disinterest. They are along the theme of lower cap values in-season or for keepers during the off-season.
Though the results of the league vote have yet to be finalized, a number of others, including me, came down in opposition to making changes in this area.
Having become a dumper for the first time in my decade in the XFL this season, I admit my wounds are fresher than most.
Consider my story.
My team was an annual contender, among the top six of the league from 2008-11, but has slid every year since. One key reason was that my core +$3 pitching, Adam Wainwright and Justin Verlander specifically, were getting into the $20s. Same with my hitting base, led by David Wright.
Over my first 10 years in the league, I had consistently resisted dumping, competing in every monthly draft and fielding the best lineups I could each week. Still, I was losing headway in recent seasons, dropping all the way to 14th place (of 15) in 2013. In the interim, I had tried trading prospects for more established players to cushion my fall, but it did not alter the trajectory.
I drafted last October to the best of my ability, but it was clear almost from the start of the 2014 season that I was destined to finish at or near the bottom of the pack once again.
As a result, I made a big decision – not to dump - but to execute a very specific plan – to replace my expensive core starters with a new generation of +3 aces. I targeted several young, low-cost, front-line players out for 2014 with Tommy John surgery – a procedure from which there is a high recovery rate.
Having to trade quality to get quality, I gave up Wainwright among others to acquire two inexpensive +$3 Tommy John hurlers – Matt Moore and Matt Harvey. I tried to get rid of Verlander and Wright, too, but it became clear I waited a year too long to make those divestitures. I also added several top prospect hitters close to the bigs like Addison Russell and Miguel Sano, the latter also a TJS acquisition target. Russell, injured in spring training, spent the first two months of the season on the DL.
The particular players that met the profile of what I wanted – top talent with a low +$3 salary and depressed value this year due to injury, but a much higher ceiling down the road – were few and far between. I needed to act quickly to get the specific guys I wanted for 2015 before they were potentially traded to someone else.
I don't think I swung the 2014 balance of power in the league with my deals. Of the teams I executed major trades with this season, there was a representative cross-section. One finished a distant second, another came in sixth and the third ended up in ninth.
Obviously, I would not have been able to make these deals had not these other owners also been anxious to trade. Anyone who has ever been in an industry league knows how trade-resistant that population is by definition.
Before making the swaps, my 2014 season was already in the tank. I am pretty sure I was going to be among those near the cellar either way. Having said that, I am not proud to have finished firmly in last. I continued to participate in every monthly free agent draft, but by August, it was clear I could not escape - this year, at least.
As a result, I traded my #1 spot in the August draft for better position in next April's supplemental draft, receiving an extra third-rounder. This transaction also elicited some peer criticism after the fact. That surprised me. I saw the 2015 pick carrying far more value than acquiring than a +$5 August free agent added to my last-place team for eight weeks before being released.
Earlier, I had included my June #1 pick as part of the deal for Russell, also giving up Asdrubal Cabrera, while receiving a fourth-rounder next April.
I am not embarrassed in the least about any of these moves and feel I was still competing in the most advantageous manner for my team's future. I would do every one of the deals again.
Yet, I did not make my rebuilding decision lightly and hope I am not going to have to resort to these kinds of drastic moves again anytime soon.
I cannot see why some in the league would want to penalize me for trying to break out of a losing spiral in a logical and well-thought out manner. Being in the unenviable position of looking up at 14 very competitive teams is enough of a deterrent.
The messages for you?
First, this is the time of the year to discuss rules changes in your leagues – while the topic is still fresh in your minds. Sure, everyone is already focused on football, but if you wait until spring, many of the good potential fixes will be forgotten – only to be re-discovered the hard way next season.
Second, resist the temptation to rush to solutions. When ideas are suggested, make sure you challenge your mates to clearly articulate what perceived problem they are trying to fix. Too often, one potential change opens the door for two possible new issues.
It is always best to agree on the original problem statement before throwing around ways to address it. This is far easier said than done, but if you can enforce this kind of discipline, you may be able to avoid the frustrating free-for-alls that we have all faced.
Finally, when you know in your heart that you have to make a tough move, such as my decision to blow up my XFL keeper team, step up and do it. It was Baseball Hall of Fame executive Branch Rickey who once said, "It is better to make a trade a year too early than a year too late." I had to re-learn that valuable lesson this season.

Long before his face was smashed by an errant pitch from Milwaukee's Mike Fiers on September 11, outfielder Giancarlo Stanton was the source of intense interest across Major League Baseball.
The realities of baseball's economic structure likely make the Miami Marlins a short-term home for the best young hitter in the National League. Though the men who run the Fish say they are going to try to keep Stanton for the long-term as the cornerstone of their franchise, the likelihood of a Jeffrey Loria-owned team anteing up the tens of millions it is going to take seems a low-odds bet, indeed.
I run a St. Louis Cardinals-focused message board and hopes and dreams, mostly the latter, about the club acquiring Stanton have been posted and re-posted for months. I bet most every contending club in Major League Baseball has a segment of its fan base drooling all over themselves thinking about the possibility of their team being the one to land the 24-year-old in a trade.
It is certainly not crazy. After all, not many months ago, we could have substituted "pitcher David Price of Tampa Bay" with "outfielder Giancarlo Stanton of Miami" and most of the rest of the words would fit like a glove.
Many believe that the Rays asked too much for too long in return for the former Cy Young Award winner and ended up receiving much less than one dollar in return for each dollar of Price's real value.
For that reason, some think the Marlins will trade Stanton this winter, as soon as they make a failed attempt to re-sign him to an extension.
One reason Cardinals fans may crave such a deal – other than the immediacy of a life-saving transfusion for an anemic offense – is that they remember the club swiping shortstop Edgar Renteria from Miami at the start of the prior decade.
Most trade ideas are unrealistic, either too weak, unloading a quantity of underachievers for the one player, or too strong, giving up too many of a good club's best young players for the services of one man.
However, the Cards have nothing on Price's new home, the Detroit Tigers.
The Tigers acquired Miguel Cabrera from the Marlins in December 2007. Since then, Cabrera became baseball's best player, adding two American League Most Valuable Player Awards to his trophy case.
The Marlins, then called the Florida Marlins, also unloaded a declining (at age 25) Dontrelle Willis in the cost-cutting deal. They added six players in return. Problem is that none of them have been much as major leaguers. One did not make it at all.
For the record, they are Dallas Trahern (minors only), Burke Badenhop, Frankie De La Cruz, Cameron Maybin, Andrew Miller and Mike Rabelo.
What does this have to do with Stanton, you ask? Well, interestingly enough, when Cabrera was dealt away, he was the same age as Stanton today, 24, and with roughly the same level of Major League experience.
No one knows if there are seven 100-RBI seasons and a pair of MVP awards ahead for Stanton, but there is no reason to believe he cannot become that good for that long.
The review of the Cabrera trade should serve as a good reminder that prospects are never a sure thing. I am on the road now so I don't have my 2007 Baseball America Prospect Handbook with me, but I bet a good number of the six players moving to Miami in the trade were considered strong potential major league talents at the time.
So no matter how the Stanton deal goes down, if it goes down at all, like any other trade, it will take at least three to five years to properly evaluate.Brian Walton was the 2009 National League Tout Wars champion, scoring the most points in the league's 16-year history.

More so than ever in 2014, we have seen Major League Baseball teams deploy defensive shifts. Their hope is to secure more outs by taking advantage of statistical trends of hitters' batted ball placement via more advantageous fielder positioning, primarily infielders.
For example, in the early part of this season, opposing clubs often stacked the right side of the infield when St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Matt Adams came to the plate. It took awhile before the slugger reacted – by shortening his swing and taking singles to left. Adams learned taking the ball the other way was a more preferable outcome than to try to shoot a ball through three infielders stacked between second base and first.
While we inherently suspect that shifts do help clubs overall, the benefits are now being quantified. Friend, fellow industry participant and fantasy opponent Steve Moyer has access to reams of Major League Baseball data in his role at Inside Edge. On the subject of shifts, Moyer penned an article that ran in the Wall Street Journal earlier this week.
If you have not seen it, please go there now and take it in. I will be here when you return.
Moyer's data indicates that 26 of the 30 MLB clubs have experienced a net positive in terms of hits saved by deploying shifts this season. Of course, there are some limitations and interpretation is required.
The extremely wide variation in the use of shifts across the game is an item that really caught my attention but was not fully analyzed in Steve's WSJ article.
Sure, Houston saved the most hits, 44, but they also deployed shifts roughly 50 percent more than any other club. The second-most prolific user, Tampa Bay, was far less successful, tied for 24th in most hits saved. At the other end of the spectrum, the Rockies shift least often - less than one-sixth as frequently as the Astros.
That led me to take Moyer's data one step further and measure the efficiency of shifting by team. It is the simple division of net hits saved by number of shifts deployed.
|Times shifted
|Net hits saved
|White Sox
|Red Sox
|Blue Jays
Data source: Inside Edge; Note: Data through September 8, 2014.
In terms of shifting efficiency, Houston drops to 12th with San Francisco, Detroit and Washington jumping up to the top three spots in MLB.
Note that none of the three are in the top half of shifts attempted. Further, the Tigers and Nationals are only in the middle of the pack in terms of net hits saved.
In other words, these teams seem to pick their spots particularly well.
Another interesting item is that if the regular season ended today, all three would be playoff clubs, as is the fourth-most efficient club, the Dodgers.
One should not assume these results are linear, however. Specifically, these teams' efficiency may drop if they deployed shifts more frequently. After all, one would think their comfort level in shifting is reflected by their current level using them.
Anyway, I found it interesting that there seems to be no correlation between frequency and results. Well, in reality, one could argue a negative relationship. In fact, five of the top 10 shifters are among the bottom 10 in efficiency, with two others right on the edge of joining the bottom third in effectiveness.
It seems the moral of the shift story for 2014, like so many things in life, is that moderation may be the best policy.

This past week, rookie National League hurlers Jacob deGrom and Anthony DeSclafani were again in the news, though for much different reasons.
On Monday, deGrom tied the Major League Baseball record with eight consecutive strikeouts at the start of the New York Mets' game against the Miami Marlins. Ironically, it was the opposing pitcher who broke the streak.
DeSclafani was not deGrom's starting pitching counterpart for the Fish that evening. The right-hander is appealing a three-game suspension for intentionally hitting Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Carlos Gomez after an official warning was in effect.
To an extent, one can see why DeSclafani did what he did.
After all, it was the same contest in which an errant offering from Brewers hurler Mike Fiers caused serious facial injuries to Giancarlo Stanton, who left the ballpark in an ambulance. Not only that, but Fiers struck the following batter, Reed Johnson, with his very next pitch, yet remained in the game.
Sadly, the retaliation/suspension may be the highlight of DeSclafani's unremarkable rookie season, while deGrom is considered one of the two front-runners for the National League Rookie of the Year Award, along with Cincinnati centerfielder Billy Hamilton.You might be wondering why I used the word "again" in my opening sentence.
Their unusual last names have forever tied the two pitchers together in my mind. It began the week of May 14 when the two were called up to the bigs almost simultaneously.
DeSclafani, the beneficiary of the season-ending elbow injury suffered by star Jose Fernandez, was promoted from Triple-A New Orleans to make his MLB debut on May 15. The 24-year-old right-hander allowed just two runs in six innings while earning a win at all places, Dodger Stadium. If he can win there, he can win anywhere, right?
That same night, deGrom made his first major league start, summoned to the Mets to step in for the injured Dillon Gee. At home against the Yankees and in front of a national audience, deGrom impressed, allowing just one run in seven innings. Yet with no run support, he took the hard-luck loss.
After that pair of personally successful first outings, the two were part of the National League Tout Wars talent pool for that Sunday night's bidding.
The DeSclafani-Fernandez connection was most ironic, as the latter was the best single FAAB addition in NL Tout in 2013. His injury replacement was positioned to potentially accomplish the same in May 2014, with 4 ½ months of play still ahead.
Bidding was spirited, but semi-cautious for both players. I remember this all too well, as I acquired neither. They both sold for the exact same amount, $14, with the Met going to Phil Hertz and the Marlin to Lenny Melnick on May 19.
That is probably the last time the two pitchers were mentioned together until now.
DeSclafani was slapped around by the Phillies in his second start and was returned to Triple-A for the first of three demotions this season. Melnick had enough and dropped his $14 acquisition.
Back in June for three starts, Anthony yielded a symmetric, yet ugly and unlucky, 13 runs in 13 innings. Gene McCaffrey apparently saw something to like, adding DeSclafani for a buck just in time to absorb a two-run-in-three-inning start that was actually his best of a bad June. Two weeks later, the Marlin was back on the waiver wire.
When brought back to the bigs for a third time briefly in August and again with expanded rosters in September, DeSclafani was sent to the bullpen, where his fantasy value is zilch.
On the other hand, deGrom took off like the promise of a top prospect might suggest. The 26-year-old right-hander has made 21 starts and has compiled a stellar 2.68 ERA to go with 134 strikeouts in 134 1/3 frames. He has just eight wins in part due to the Mets' anemic offense.
deGrom has helped Hertz hold the NL Tout season lead in both ERA and WHIP while Melnick is dead last in both categories. (In the spirit of openness, both are ahead of me in the overall league standings.)
Certainly how the two chose to spend their respective $14 on May 19 is not the only reason they are where they are. Yet it serves as a great reminder to use whatever FAAB it takes early on to get difference-makers - but keep expectations in check. Understand for every deGrom, there is bound to be a DeSclafani or two or three.
At least these two owners were trying. Coming in second in FAAB bidding, or even worse, not bidding at all, leads to nothing other than the kind of regret that leads to articles like this instead of celebrating winning titles. The former is something I want to avoid in 2015 so there can be more of the latter.Please join me!

That loud "thud" sound you may have heard was the impact of the 2014 non-waiver trade deadline on single-league fantasy baseball formats. Jumping to the conclusion, once again it seems that saving one's money to receive the final two-month benefit of big names traded into the league hardly assures a payoff.
Of course, it goes without saying that there is inherently more risk in spending earlier on less-proven commodities, but they typically cost less, too. Therefore, you can spread your bets over multiple players over time.
Then again, this year's big trade names carried their own risks, very heavy ones. Let's take a look at all the non-waiver deadline acquisitions over $20 by league, using AL and NL Tout Wars as our guide.
(To put the dollar values into context, each Tout Wars owner works from a $100 FAAB base for the season with adjustments downward for a poor finish the year before and upward on reclaims for injured players.)
I judge only half of the AL incoming trades being worthwhile for fantasy owners while four of seven in the NL look ok heading into the final month.
American League – three booms, three busts
Jeff Samardzija, Oak $77 - boom
Jason Hammel, Oak $51 - bust
Allen Craig, Bos $51 - bust
Chase Headley, NYY $39 - bust
Martin Prado, NYY $36 - boom
Huston Street, LAA $36 - boom
While Samardzija's Oakland ERA is three-quarters of a run higher than in Chicago, his 3.57 mark as an Athletic would be his best in three years as a major league starter. His past and present teammate Hammel is at the other end of the spectrum. He has struggled so badly since the trade (2-5, 4.98 ERA) that he was skipped in the rotation recently, though he has since started to show some sign of life.
It was difficult to fathom that Allen Craig could actually be worse at the plate in Boston than in St. Louis, but that is what is happening. So much for a contract push by Chase Headley. Since his move to New York, the third baseman has improved over his dreadful start with San Diego, but as a Yankee, he is still below his career norms.
Headley's new New York teammate, Martin Prado, is on his career average and hitting with increased power, a nice addition. Huston Street has been nothing short of fantastic since joining the Angels. The closer is 11-for-11 in save opportunities and has yet to allow a run. It is no coincidence that the Angels have surged since Street took over the ninth inning.
National League – four booms, three bustsAsdrubal Cabrera, Was $53 - boom
Hard to believe, but Cabrera was the top offensive player to join the Senior Circuit this summer. Since the move from Cleveland, the shortstop has logged a slightly below average batting average, but greater power, with 11 of his 25 Nats hits going for extra bases for a clear first-place club.
It may be harsh to label Lackey a bust. Then again, the veteran has just two wins in seven NL starts and an ERA over 4.00. On the other hand, Lackey is eating innings and generally keeping his contending team in games. But so did the man he replaced, Joe Kelly, who is making a fraction of the amount Lackey is paid. One cannot find anything positive to say about Lackey's new teammate Masterson, who has been so dreadful that he has been banished to the bullpen, from where he is unlikely to be seen the rest of the way except in blowouts.
An ex-Boston battery is next. On the left coast, Jake Peavy has lost four of seven starts with the Giants, but a 2.66 ERA indicates his hit-and-miss offense is primarily to blame. Catcher A.J. Pierzynski was a fill-in for Yadier Molina in St. Louis and did about what was expected. On the other hand, Molina is now back and A.J. may rarely play in September. 19 starts to date is about all $39 is likely to deliver.
Yangervis Solarte went the other way in the Headley deal and the third sacker has performed about as well in San Diego as he did in his surprising New York debut. Solarte has been superior to his more highly-compensated trade partner in their respective new venues.
We end with one of the most delightful stories of the 2014 deadline. Jarred Cosart has cut his walks in half, going 3-1 with a 1.64 ERA since joining the Marlins while helping to keep Miami's faint wild card hopes alive.

The most depressing day of 2012 is supposed to be January 16, taking into account things like gloomy weather, fading Christmas joy and general Monday malaise. However, what hasn't been considered in that theory is that Tran Ang Hung's "Norwegian Wood" actually comes out a full 10 days before the supposed most depressing day of the year, giving the 16th a run for its money. Like its source material from Haruki Murakami, this is a beautiful film that exquisitely captures grief and sadness, and unsurprisingly, it probably won't help you if you're suffering from seasonal affective disorder.
