Crav
Just some unsolicited advice, not trying to flame you….
But you bring too much good content and insight to this page to waste your time getting caught up in frivolous back and forth with Shady. This threatens your credibility in my opinion and could make people possibly ignore all the good you bring.
Quit giving Shady a bigger platform for his drivel.
I agree. It's ridiculous for cravey to be so obsessed with trying to ridicule almost every thing I post. I also agree that craviduce brings "much good content and insight to this page". He just needs to completely ignore me. Let's see if he can get over his obsession.
Shut up Bobo

Why will it be "interesting", and why are we comparing those two to Gray other than one was traded for him? Even then, we would should never compare Fitts' 2026 to Gray's 2026. There's no point in a rebuild season.
Gray is on the downside of his career. Both May and Fitts are much younger and have some talent. And both have been hampered by injuries. Maybe you don't see their upside. Kind of like you not seeing what Burleson's potential was.
It only took until your second post in your thread supposedly about pitching to mention your man-crush.
You are a clown.

It will be interesting to see how their pitching results compare next season. To me, Gray sure didn't seem like an ace last season. Gray was fairly durable. But often didn't go deep into his starts.
Few starters were allowed to. It irritated me no end (and I’m sure to the starters as well) when a starter was removed after 4 2/3 innings because he simply allowed a baserunner; but the laptop rules today’s games.

Absolutely! Rule one o one. Never pull a starter at 4 2/3. Even if he is sucking. Just a rule. Let him get five in. Voids well for his next start. Confidence.

You just made an excellent point. If I see a mgr pull something like that --- or call it the analytics dept ordering the mgr to do it --- then I turn the game off. That mentality is starting to eat away at my enjoyment of the game. Long-term...?
