What a guy.  Even including the 2016 guys has a good argument for best combo of cool on the field and cool off the field of anyone we've had in a long time.

One of my favorite pitchers even predating his time with the Cubs. Not many guys can say they have 10+ pitches in their bag.

I love Darvish. Dude is so funny.

Bob hasn't had a good winter of reporting.

Darvish still has the most insane pitch overlay I've ever seen. It's amazing that anyone was ever able to hit him.

funny to see darvish mentioned as a cubs legend, but he was solid as hell for a minute there.  Man refused to give up walks.  That first season was tough, though - remember a-rod talking his smack about it?
