I'd say K and BB rates. Palmer averaged 3.0 BB/9. That puts him in a tie for 44th in today's game. His K/9 was 5.0, which is off the leaderboard all together so let's give him 71st. I know guys are other guys heroes but you aren't taking a guy from 50 years ago and dropping him into this league.

Earl did but he was out of the loop.

Maybe? He gave up 52 over 10 years. So maybe not.

And the game hasn't really changed over the last 50 years? That was my point. You almost always go with the great player that played most recently. It makes as much sense to plus Palmer's numbers into the current game as it does McGinnity.

And McGinnity gives you 38 complete games, over 400 innings. His WHIP was under 1, and he gave up .2 HR/9!

I think his willingness level would be even lower than ownership's. If you could get it done I'd do it since I don't view any of those three highly.

When is the last time we've seen something like that in ML baseball? I'm honestly asking here because I think it's really uncommon. (With guys that don't have no trade clauses) I don't think ERod is going to decline his option to get traded to Baltimore.

I'm pretty sure the rest of the league would riot if they let the Orioles have two Adam Fraziers.

Yea, who would want that Ruth guy?

I wouldn't mind plugging in 408 innings at a 1.61 ERA. (Joe McGinnity 1904).

If it replaces Thank God I'm a Country Boy I'm on board.

Everyone except you. What I said was if your choice of language was better we wouldn't be reacting as negatively towards your statements. That doesn't mean we agree with them.

I think that maybe if you had said "Act like an adult" or "Act like a professional" your comments would not be treated with such derision.

Shouldn't the AP tests be over by now? I recall them not being this late way back when I took them. You aren't actually making them do stuff after the exam are you? It was movie time for us back in the day.

As long as they don't concuss themselves I don't care. The downvote is for the man comment. That's something children say right?

From Wiki...so it's from Wiki... So if that isn't accurate, OK. It's been 40 years since I studied the flag.

I'm not saying he hasn't had a protracted period of excellence. I'm saying that the ridiculous series he had recently (what was it 9 hits in a row, mostly for extra bases?)pushed his numbers to an even higher level. You can be really good and still go on a burner and right after that burner probably isn't the best time to look at the overall stats and make any pronouncements. I'm not down on him in any way but he isn't going to do this very often:

The flag is the coat of arms of the person the city is named after. So there is a connection.

I'd heard about the Block but the Corner is a new one on me.

I'm talking about GMs not owners.

Cards are only five out after going on a big time heater. I don't think they are currently planning to sell.

Probably not much since the other teams aren't run by idiots.

Hadn't ever seen it. Is it about how crime infested Baltimore is?

Why do we have to talk about Frazier in every thread?
