All I said is that I was glad you aren’t the GM . Nowhere did I say you would be a terrible gm or that I would be any better than you . I have had several people say the same thing to me and I didn’t get all upset about it . I think you need to chill out and not take a difference of opinion so personally .Quote:

If he can hide his pitches and use his velo (assuming he hasn't lost it due to his injury), he has the stuff to be a #1. Now, I doubt either will be at their best in 2021, but I think both could be really good in 2022 and beyond. Also, with regard to Sevy, some pitchers need time to become a finished product. Both pitchers are around 27 years old without a lot of innings on their arms. Sevy could throw 98-100 regularly and some pitchers are stronger after TJS.Quote:

I think the numbers prove you wrong.Quote:

That isn't an ace? I think that is an ace. Definitely less than Cole, but he is a few years younger and has upside. In any event, if he can get back to what he was, he is -- in my opinion -- definitely a strong #1b.

Sure but he has a long way to go before that happens , especially since he has durability issues already
even before he got injured that second half of the season was horrendous.. i would never feel confident in sevy in a big game as he has been terrible in the playoffs...and that was when sevy was healthy.. who knows what sevy will be after surgery..maybe he will turn into another matt harvey a finished pitcher...Quote:

Some do all of the above over and over but are too stupid to get tired of those things.
They are also too weak and scared to actually make a genuine stance to prove they know anything, so instead they make up more lies and try to convince themselves they are anything more than a manure creator and hoarder by putting others down and pretending to be victorious.
They pretend they never said things, like 5 and 4 are the same or that a righty bat pulls the ball to RF or that "behind" only means directly behind and has no other meaning they can comprehend (To name a. very few of the long list of stupidity)
They are so messed up and misguided that they have resorted to eating their own manure product to supplement their present diet and this leaves their breath smelling like the the bastard child of a shite sandwich and a bucket rancid general tso's chicken
They find themselves utterly alone. All those traits above combined with the shite farming and stank breath leaves them wandering friendless, lonely and cowardly.
No one that pathetic, sad and lonely will have the courage to take your challenge. Only a truly brave person in that position would take that risk. Only a truly brave person would put themselves out there and risk their ego being more bruised than it already is to prove they know more than another person.
In this case, it would be to prove they know anything at all.
No Day, you will not have your day of reckoning. The opponent you chose, lives in a shawl of cowardice, hiding from the light of day

Right. Because thoracic outlet syndrome and TJ surgeries are so similar.Quote:

Good comparison
Not
I believe we all agree Kershew is an ace yet he was not great in the playoffs until he was. With some pitchers, it takes time. I could be wrong. Perhaps Sevy is a #5 or perhaps he gets moved to the bullpen. Who knows. I think of him as an ace, and I hope I am right.Quote:

Can we also assume if you did not hold these specific preferences there would be no reason to believe he would NOT be a good GM.Quote:

It's strange because they both have an opportunity to prove who would be aa better GM. One is willing to take the risk, the other party remains a coward to the end.Quote:
