This is true for most players, and others are probably on the decline when the sample size is large enough. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 7, 17:02
I agree on the ARod pricing...which isn't helped by the fraudulent HR bonuses.... - Will Hunting Oct 7, 16:44 5
- Whatever, like the owners care about "dirty" or not. - musubi Oct 7, 16:46 1
  - The owners paid him PR bonuses on the assumption he was cleanly going to eclipse the greatest record in sports. - Will Hunting Oct 7, 16:48

  - It makes you feel dirty when you agree with me, don't it? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 7, 16:46 1

Same can be said for "Late and Close" stats. (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 16:42 4
- As I said, Feilder has the equivalent of a full season. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 7, 16:51 2

- NFL scouts have had this same problem with QBs. Projecting who can handle the limelight of being The Guy on an NFL team in a major city is impossible. - David Oct 7, 16:54 5
  - I wonder if they go after Darvish, if he's posted. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 7, 17:07

    - Scherzer can be *that* good, he's just not consistent. - spamlet Oct 7, 17:04 1

  - It was amazing to me that Tampa had more starting pitchers than the Yanks/Boston combined for 1/8th the team payroll. - Will Hunting Oct 7, 16:56
- The only fix is more pitching depth. - Will Hunting Oct 7, 16:45 9
  - It's a tough year for free agent pitchers, apparently the biggest name available is CJ Wilson. -- nm - Tim Oct 7, 16:48 5
    - This has Buerhle as well. - Will Hunting Oct 7, 16:52 4
      - He is leaving the White Sox. -- nm - the liioulu with jewelry bits Oct 7, 17:09 2
        
        Darn, I saw the name Soriano, but it isn't the right one. -- nm - the liioulu with jewelry bits Oct 7, 17:10 1
        
        And I think Aramis doesn't want to leave, but I think he's going to. - the liioulu with jewelry bits Oct 7, 17:13
      - Stupid White Sox. (nm) - spamlet Oct 7, 17:05

    - Nah, they ain't freaking out any more than the #1 team should analyze when things go wrong...but - Will Hunting Oct 7, 16:49 1
