The fact that Buehrle had a better career (according to fWAR, he edges him out) than Johan Santana is fascinating to me. It's a perfect peak vs. longevity argument. Johan in his primed mowed people down, then fell apart. Buehrle was the same dude every year of his career, fell two innings shy of hitting 200 IP in 2015 and was like "guess I'll hang it up."

I have no clue, but he definitely removed it from Gio, Lopez, and Cease's arsenals when it was arguably the best weapon all three of them had. Gio remade himself. Cease is a work-in-progress and might get it back. Lopez joined Eloy in the afterlife.

Right now it's probably Cole for pitcher.

Can't wait for the Howie Clark thread to go viral and be tweeted at Steve Stone.

Hamilton, Garcia, and Lamb you say? 1

You get your wish, but you'll be getting more Jake Lamb.

Either you have no idea how any organization/government works on this planet or you're presenting the dumbest strawman argument that you've given yet. Considering you spent half a decade anointing Dayton Moore the demigod of baseball, I'm going with the L. Frank Baum route.

"Doug Laumann took Fulmer..." "JR's insistence on getting cash considerations is why they traded Tatis..." He's the fucking GM. Some scout didn't magically overrule him when it came to getting Yermin.

...and yet, he signed Robert, took Yermin, and built the current team that we're all excited about, all while dealing with JR's pocketbook.

That would, for the most part, be fine. There is of course a line that can always be crossed as language escalates.

The Tuskegee Syphilis Study is the most famous example, but yes.

Dear lord.

I'm more appalled that it seems like Vaughn won't be hitting for Leury either.

Celebrates in Kopech, Moncada, Eloy, and Giolito.

That's such a good idea.

Lmao, this is my favorite complaint. "They want everything to be correct." Also, instant replay isn't instant gratification. It slows the game down and takes time to review to ensure the game is being called correctly. Sounds like you just enjoy bad baseball.

Eh, didn't notice the video was in the tweet. C'est la vie.

All of Tatis' homers have come against the Tigers, so they don't count.

Pretty sure Derrick Rose's first injury was he cut itself with a knife that he cut an apple with. Shit happens.

@sin city sox fan, you already have an active Yermin troll thread.

They're even smaller sample sizes, but yes, they are. We're all disappointed in Eloy. But you're handwaving a guy striking out 37% of time, with 7 errors in 11 games, a non-contact injury that we know will get worse the longer he puts off surgery (the first year into a $340M contract) and your argument is we don't know how badly the shoulder is affecting him (even though it should be incredibly alarming), or the pressure of that massive deal? But don't worry, he's contributing on the base paths with ... 2 stolen bases and 1 caught stealing. The point is, if we're freaking out about Moncada, then Padres fans need to be burning down Petco Park about Tatis.

Sweet. Baby. Jesus.

This link was Caulfield bait and it worked.
