I said the Royals would trade hosmer this at this years trade deadline... how can I be wrong about that... it hasn't happened yet.

well, I am predicting you will be wrong, again

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I played sports... Anyone that plays sports knows the more you play without the benefit of some time off will result in the accumulation of minor injuries that can become major.

You "played sports?!?" That's amazing. I had no idea. I'll defer to your anecdotal expertise over folks that have actually studied thousands of pitchers' careers.

you also just said Iglesias never completed a season.. which was wrong.. so...

i guess they should mail their studies to the GM's of the teams in the MLB.. they don't seem to agree... and neither do their team doctors.

2013: 109 games
2014: Nada
2015: 120

[SlinkyRedfoot]

If high inning counts don't effect players.. why is there the need to have 5 starters? Why not have the same guy starting every day?

The counterpoint to your ridiculous statement is if high inning counts are so detrimental to pitchers, why aren't teams going with seven, or ten man rotations?

You realize many of the guys at Prospectus have in fact been hired by FO's... The Astros come to mind.

Actually, they do agree, you just aren't aware of it.

Absolutely. In fact, many GMs read BP.

He was sent down to the minors in '13.

...

he played 109 in 2013 because he was a 23 yr old prospect (#96 ranked in baseball). He didn't start the season in the MLB... which is why he didn't play.. it had nothing to do with injury... come on man... you are smarter than that.

 

[MiamiVice]

The counterpoint to your ridiculous statement is if high inning counts are so detrimental to pitchers, why aren't teams going with seven, or ten man rotations?

because they wouldn't have enough space on the 25 man for relief pitching... which would still be needed.

 

[da55bums]

lol.. this coming from a guy that just said Iglesias has never completed a season.. when he was the last out of the 2013 ALCS.. which means.. he literally played to the last out for the Tigers.

Vice, this is why you are so ignorant...

120 - you know what that number is...the most games Jose has played in a season.

162 - that is how many games they play a season.

162-120= 42 games missed

Enrique Inglesis has NEVER COMPLETED a MLB season....

 

[MiamiVice]

He was sent down to the minors in '13.

he started the year in the minors... so yeah.. he was sent down to the minors.. he was 23.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

He was sent down to the minors in '13.

Yeah, I probably should have contextualized that a bit better. He did originally have those shin splints prop up in that season, no?

You're wrong. He started 2013 with the sox, but was sent down when Stephen Drew came off the DL.

lol.. yes... he has... he was not injured in 2013... jesus fucking christ. he was still playing.. just in the minors.. your arguement was that he was injured.. he was not injured.

 

[MiamiVice]

Yeah, I probably should have contextualized that a bit better. He did originally have those shin splints prop up in that season, no?

i think they were an issue before 2013.. but he never was on the DL in the minors.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

he started the year in the minors... so yeah.. he was sent down to the minors.. he was 23.

Then how'd he go 3-5 for the Red Sox on opening day in 2013?

 

[MiamiVice]

its funny how you guys are just arguing to argue.... iglesias has been on the DL twice... he completed the 2013 season...

you have to love people that argue semantics just to admit being wrong.
