If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.
Baseball Toaster runs on some experimental software called Fairpole. It's still under development.

Sometime, somewhere Frank Robinson or one of his coaches must have shot at an albatross with a crossbow.
This appears in the Nationals.com mailbag.
With shortstop Royce Clayton talking to the Nationals, is there any chance that Cristian Guzman could lose his starting position after such a bad year? I would much rather see Clayton at shortstop.
-- Ed K., Harrisonburg, Va.
According to Clayton, manager Frank Robinson believes he could compete for the starting job at shortstop if he signs with the Nationals. I agree that Guzman needs some competition after such a bad year. However, if Guzman loses his starting job, the team would have a very expensive bench player. It would be tough to trade Guzman because of his contract. The way I see it, Guzman is here to stay. (Emphasis mine)
Replacing Cristian Guzman with Royce Clayton is an inspired choice!
I've also learned that MLB.com still uses montreal.expos.mlb.com as a domain name.
That's great thinking. He's horrible but somehow he is easier to justify if he is the starter at SS.
