"I wish Verlander was a True Ace"
grow up.
If you don't like the way I evaluate players, so be it. I'll call Verlander an ACE, when I think he is. I stand by my comment that I need consistency out of him. If I called him an ace because of this dominating year (he will win CY YOUNG), and he comes back next year with a 12-15 with a 4.00 ERA bullcrap, It would go against everything I ever stood for in how I evaluate players.
This is ONLY his first year behing below 3.30 ERA and first year being below 1.00 in WHIP. This has been a fastinating year and I hope he continues it. But I'm going to hold him to hold him to the standards as I hold everyone.
Remember Joe Mays? Pete Shoruak (sp?)?
NO? Probably not.... DIdnt think so. But how about one that hits close to home.
Dontrelle Willis......
Four good years to begin his career and you would have tagged "ACE" on him......
and look at him since.......
and that's why, 7 year olds, like me have patience and stay away from labeling someone with such great expectations.
(Ps. How can you say I don't stand by anything I say? All I DO is stand by what I say......)
boogerlovejoy said:elrod said:Should there be a 'un' between the 'ct'?
Kidding, kidding...
But yeah, JV is and has been an ace.
Yes, there should be.
And I'm not kidding. That guy acts like a whiney little 7 year old girl. He doesn't stand behind anything he says and argues points just for the attention.......so he is a "ct" with a "un" in between.
