Of Rice and Men

I’m sorry if this screws up any links that might be out there, but I’ve decided to remove this post.  While I still believe in the substance of what I was trying to say, in retrospect it was not only poorly written, but was also done in an exceedingly inappropriate tone.  My apologies to those specifically named and anyone else who may have taken offense.

I’ve essentially attempted a do-over here if you’re still interesting in this topic, or I highly recommend an article by Mark Armour over at the Baseball Analysts site, which conveys the same point far better than I have.
