Do you think Roy Halladay is/was a good pitcher?

Roy Holladay shits on Ventura... don't even put those two in the same sentence.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Sending Ventura down to AAA was an idiotic and pointless move with no teeth. Reality was his peripherals were fine- and his ERA is not indicative of how he pitched.

Roy Halliday

23 yr old, had a 10.64 era, 2.202 whip and 1.05 k/w and was sent down, just fyi

lol.. keep telling yourselves what ever you have to... to keep the idea that Ventura is a top of the rotation pitcher.

I don't have to keep anything. He'll be fine.

Hahahaha, you really do make shit up and hope it sticks.

yup... wanna put some money on that?

 

[broncosmitty]

absolutely, had a staff like old time Tigers (errr four years ago, lol)

Trying to link the All In The Family theme, but my phone isn't cooperaring.

Didn't he get brought back the next day?

I just remember scrambling in fantasy cuz it caught me off Gaurd.(Nevermind. Bums prevented me from googling.)

 

[MiamiVice]

the real question royals fans should be asking is how many more beatings can Perez take before he starts missing huge chunks of time...

 

[da55bums]

oh, yeah, I forgot how good you are at predictions for the royals players, my bad...don't mind the HUGE difference in numbers between the two

Yep- which proves my point is that it had no teeth. It was a stupid, pointless, and meaningless exercise that only appeases radio hosts.

 

[Nosferatu]

I wouldn't.. Verlander's ceiling when healthy is much higher than Klubers... and Verlander looked plenty healthy the last few months of last year.

You lost me here.

His career won't last long that the rate he plays. But if they don't plan on signing him longterm it'll be okay for them. If they do, prolly should send Yost a memo on how he's desteoying a great player.

Would be a shame if he fades quickly due to overuse.

Ivan Rodriguez and many catchers have been battered worse, some make it some move to DH/1b....no way anyone can predict it.

He was scuffling a bit, if I remember right. But I was more than surprised.

Was it a hot button deal in KC? It's not like the rotation was stacked and he was holding someone out.

 

[da55bums]

Perez's size and knees will be a problem before the baseballs.

I think its pretty easy to see the guy is getting beat up.. and Perez is twice the size of Pudge... big catchers NEVER last long.
