If I'd seen this posted 10 years ago, I can't imagine how many lies I would've written on my resume to try and get this sucker.

I'm mostly wondering whether RealGM's past adventures with the back-end database makes me familiar enough with SQL.

It's easy - here's how to find a new starting catcher:

Didn't think that query would result in Dioner Navarro...

UPDATE players

[Greatness]

I don't consider myself the most knowledgable baseball guy but I'm considering applying since I've done an SQL course. Who knows maybe I get lucky.

[YogiStewart]
