Which book is this?

Madden create-a-player inspired question: assuming they have positionally average speed/strength/skill, what position would you play a 5'5" 415 lbs player?

The Boards MLB Draft tab has its Rank field as character and not numeric. It's causing the field to sort incorrectly.

At this time of day on July 2, I’m drawn to think of the several thousand US troops spread out in an ever thinning line along Culp’s Hill, on the US right. All afternoon, units have been pulled from this position to bolster the left flank - Little Round Top, the Wheatfield, and Cemetery Ridge

@megrowler.fangraphs.com wonky Fangraphs question. Each player has a corresponding code (for example, Aaron Judge is 15640, Roman Anthony is sa3020211). When a player makes the majors & accrues MLB stats, does that code change, and if so, is it in a predictable way?

I ask this in good faith: Has anyone described where/how the money would be used? I don't doubt that it takes some $$ to close streets periodically (put up barriers, have cops navigate traffic, etc), but $16m/year seems like a lot of money to accomplish that.

@aweatherman.com @nickwan.bsky.social mentioned a Sportsdataverse discord (invite only). How do you get an invite? Hobbyist analytics (mostly baseball) guy here.

It's mid at best. Maybe on an international flight it could be good but if you have alternatives watch those instead.

What's the inflection point between paying a qb's 2nd contract and drafting a new one. Just how good does a QB have to be to warrant the investment? It seems like the league thinks decent starter is the minimum, but should that line be there, or would teams be better off risking the draft?
