        I will allow that the rocket software engineers I've talked to could spin up more quickly on my job than vice-versa, but that's still ~months. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 14, 16:59 1

        Oh, I thought you meant Dansby. -- nm - The Allfather Nov 14, 16:51 3
        
        I meant degrom. He could give you Pedro 99/00 or he could throw 3 innings before blowing out his elbow back and shoulder. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 14, 16:53 2
        
        Yeah, I'm actually not a fan of the DeGrom idea, especially not at that price. - The Gossip King Nov 14, 17:01 1
        
        Signing DeGrom and not resigning Dansby... would not go over well here. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 14, 17:41
