But his posts are usually well though-out, and often backed up with excellent statistical evidence.
Like I said, I disagree with him, but I respect him.
And I've kept quiet about the Jason Marquis posts, simply because I don't think he's the best example of Hendry's lunacy when it comes to signing free agents. He was signed for too many years, perhaps, but we<i> knew</i> he was meant to be a decent innings-eater, nothing more, nothing less, and that's what we got. I kinda liked him.
Focusing on the Marquis signing when talking about Hendry's FA debacles is like saying Charles Manson has bad breath; sure it may be somewhat true, but you're focusing on a molehill when there are Mt. Everests <i>everywhere</i>.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So...because you disagree with BT's (also mine) point-of-view, you wonder if he's just taking a position for the sake of debate?
People have called you batshit crazy for years, but no one ever questions whether or not you believe your arguments.
