Argument 101 fail

By Tangotiger, 05:59 PM

Curtis Granderson is not the worst-fielding CF in baseball because he’s not the worst-fielding CF in baseball.  Or words to that effect.

I’m not giving my opinion either way, but if you are going to argue for someone not being the worst, at least present something, anything.  Are you suggesting that he might be the 2nd worst?  The best?  Where exactly?  And who is the worst?

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
