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.

But what's the verb? Not 'flies', I'm sure. It must be a rough synonym for 'returns', right?
(that's my interpretation .... and I'm stickin' with it)
I got another puzzle for you.

You don't need the word "bust".
A tradition like none other.
I know! I don't like that San Diego benefits from this. This was discussed on Baseball Think Factory today, in a discussion of this Baseball America article on the Astros' top 10 prospects:

Same story last year too. From the BA article:
By signing Carlos Lee and Woody Williams as Type A free agents, the Astros surrendered their first two draft choices. Offering arbitration to three of their own Type A free agentsAubrey Huff, Andy Pettitte and Russ Springerwas a low-risk proposition that could have yielded three first-round picks and three supplemental first-rounders, but Houston declined to do so.
San Diego probably would have offered Brocail arbitration since I don't think he made much last year and would have declined it.
