Jon's other site:
Screen Jam
TV and more ...
1) using profanity or any euphemisms for profanity
2) personally attacking other commenters
3) baiting other commenters
4) arguing for the sake of arguing
5) discussing politics
6) using hyperbole when something less will suffice
7) using sarcasm in a way that can be misinterpreted negatively
8) making the same point over and over again
9) typing "no-hitter" or "perfect game" to describe either in progress
10) being annoyed by the existence of this list
11) commenting under the obvious influence
12) claiming your opinion isn't allowed when it's just being disagreed with
Culturally biased for your pleasure ...
Question 1:
Which of the following trades would you be willing to make, where:
x = a player with average major league talent
y = one season with the Dodgers
z = one season with another team
Trade 1: 0.9x + 3y for 1.3x + 5z
Trade 2: 0.5x + 10y for 1.2x + 0.5z
Trade 3: 1.1x + 0.75y for 1.2x + 3z
Trade 4: 0.2x + 18y for Barry Bonds
Trade 5: 0.9x + 5y for x + z
Trade 6: 0.7x + 4y for 0.9x + 9z
Trade 7: x + 4.5y for 1.4x - 2z
If you think you don't have enough information to answer, perhaps you should write to the College Board.
My response: Trades 1 and 2 for sure. Trade 3 - maybe. Trade 4 - grnnnh. Trade 5 - probably. Trade 6 - don't think so. Trade 7 - yes (that's a minor leaguer with potential, in case you were confused).
Something to chew on while the MegaTrade (TM) awaits consummation.
