I don't think there is a shortage of 30-34 year old players that are playing at the highest level of the sport. Most of the 30 year old players that are still around are a lot better major leaguers than they were at 26. I agree that getting into the late 30's the dropoff is pretty big without "help", but people suggesting that you need to trade guys who are 27/28 because they are too old is just ridiculous to me. During the Cease nonsense threads, people were saying Ortiz was too old at 25 to be of value. -
Fixed that for you. By the way, they are a business. They should care about money. -
One of the consequences of the post-drug testing era is that peaks have been peaking earlier; in earlier eras peaks at age 28-31 were much more common, and aging patterns after 31 were a little less steep. Now some research suggests the median peak is as early as age 26. I'm wondering if amphetamines testing had a significant effect here given the grind of the regular season and the extreme travel schedule. I imagine that older players in years past could have taken a coffee spiked with speed to give themselves a pick-me-up. With drug testing that becomes much more challenging. -
I’m a bit more hyped for NY. I’ve never really noticed the Phillies, but by golly, I hope we clean their clock. And I hope we make a mammoth trade in the next 15 hours or so, too. -
Clay Holmes got walked off by the worst part of the KC batting order, maybe he's available as he's probably not good enough for the NYY.

I doubt he’s anything more than depth at Norfolk. It’s a bit hard on the Norfolks fans, to be looking at guys like Tehran and Stoudt as front line pitchers, but as long as we never see him it’s fine. But it’s time, as@Billy F-Face3 has said, to make some meaningful pickups. This isn’t.
