I like Max Scherzer, think he would be a nice get. But no, I don’t trade McDermott for him. To me both he and Povich are keys pieces to pitching depth moving forward. So i’m saying I would be in favor of going after Max, but I would be looking to trade from another pool other than our young pitching to get him -
Objectively true. But outside of the OH, it's a bit quibbly. -

Something to watch for. It’s easy to parse these videos out to show one at bats or a few good at bats..but is he consistently doing this? -

I think the evidence shows there isn’t more TJ surgery than before -

I don't believe this. Pitch counts have started at the high school level and they vary by state. There are typically rules that dictate how often you can throw a pitcher at the youth levels. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/high-school-pitch-count-rules-by-state/ There are pitch limits/usage limits in the NCAA, too. Maybe there's something to the fact that they play more than they used to, but I don't believe kids have put more mileage on their arms than the old days when there was nothing in place to keep them from pitching on a Friday and a Saturday when no one batted an eye. -

Oh god, I can't stand John Smoltz. This alone is so beyond idiotic and completely unfounded, "We limit, we baby, we don't let them do the things they're naturally gifted to do." No, the problem is because they're not limited, because they're not babied, because they're pushed for maximum exertion on every pitch and everybody in the league is bigger/faster/stronger. That's the issue here. Everybody wants to throw the hardest. Everybody wants to go deeper in games. And let's be frank, here. John Smoltz pitched during the steroid era. There's no guarantee that he didn't use. But so many starters did. There's established testing now. But you have guys still throwing more and harder. Something has to give here. -

He doesn't help the team meaningfully this year because of his innings limit. And while he does give us 2 years of control after this year, this is really the only year he's been a starter aside from back in college which was half a decade ago. I say no. Too many risks and question marks around him.
