Most of those guys played on a team that was bad and then built into a winner, or in some cases play for a good team right away and therefore skip the bad start. Cutler played for a bad team and was traded to a bad team. He didn't suck pretty hard last year either, that's just stupid talk. He was disappointing and inconsistent, but he didn't suck pretty hard.

Aikman didn't have a good record until he was 27ish, Drew Brees played a while before his record became impressive. The fact is it is very easy for a very good QB to not have a good record. Aikman went 1-15 his rookie season. He had to play on a lot of good teams to make up for that. Brees wasn't elite until he went to New Orleans. Good but inconsistent and they still opted for Rivers when he was in the fold. Failing to see how this defends your stance that it's very very unlikely that any elite QB would have a bad W/L record over an extended time.

Jim Kelly was 28-29 at 29 years old. The problem with your theory is that most people won't call a QB elite until he wins a lot. So if the QB is on a team that sucks, it doesn't matter what he does personally, he can't be elite until his team gets better.

I think we're a long way away from needing to worry about this.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-25-10

Don't fool yourself into thinking that matters to Goony. There's always going to be excuses for Vitters. -
The self-circumcising* underwear? *corrected for horrible mistake.

would be a bit redundant, but i guess i can't put it past Hendry anyway. It'd actually be a good move by Hendry to give DLee a full NTC with a new deal. It might cut down the cost and the 10/5 rights would make it irrelevant. Why would it cut down the cost?

Can someone reference something that I can read as to why this is. I've seen the argument made lots of times - but never read anything indepth. It comes down to outs being the most important thing, most specifically not making them. I get that, but, you can't avoide making them - it is impossible - a team is going to make an out roughly 66% of time. You are obviously going to have stretches where a team is going to do much better than that but its going to even out in the end. That's probably the one certainty in baseball - outside the home half of the 9th and beyond you are going to make 3 outs. In my head - which is why I am looking for some reading material - what you do with the "non-outs" is more important than simply making one or not making one. Well, you're wrong. Getting as many people to the plate as you can without making outs is what's most important.

Does Marmol really need to warm up again with a 5-0 lead and 2 outs?
-
I don't know either, but I don't trust him. Has Marshall been as good as I think he's been?

damnit

Hell of a pitching line by Wells so far.

only the cards

You're an idiot.

Jesus man, it was a joke. Don't get your panties in such a bunch, I'm not slighting your predictive genius.

Ok so I was 1 at bat early 7 actually. 1 actually. Soto, 6 other outs, a sac bunt and a walk. That's 7 AB, or 9 PA.

Rivera is the exception that proves the rule. He was also a guy with a K/BB ratio of 4/1 and a career WHIP of 1.00. Marmol is an incredibly inconsistent pitcher who will never be able to maintain his current K rate. If his BB rate does not come down sharply he's going to spend his career with inconsistent results that won't come close to Rivera. Also, the mention of Mark Prior here is just dumb. I don't even know what you could be possibly trying to accomplish with that one.

The Cubs are 5-5 in their last 10 games, don't mess with success.

Re: NHL (Blackhawks included) offseason thread

I think he's a poor man's Ladd, but there's an obvious difference between the two. He's a bit of a nuisance, but he also seemingly disappears for long stretches. -
Yes it is. It absolutely is. If it's at the higher end of a players value, it's trading high.
