I'm a big fan of Westburg but I'd do that without hesitation.

There is a reason I mentioned those two in my post.  See if you can figure it out.

I don’t.  As I said, Wells has a history.  You are going to have to worry about Bradish, Kremer, and GRod too.

Yes, exactly.  This guy has a history too.

Of missing time to injury or being ineffective after a certain amount of innings?

Of not pitching this many innings- for whatever reason.

Wells has a history of injury/poor 2nd half.    Show me where Lorenzen does.  I don’t see it.   There is no proof that throwing over your previous career innings is going to lead to fatigue and ineffectiveness.  I can show you Corbin Burnes blowing way past his previous high and being great.  How about Strider last year and this year?

There's no definitive evidence either way, and you're anecdotal evidence is no different than anecdotal evidence showing the opposite, which would be easy to provide.

It's just common sense and it can't be dismissed because it can't be quantified.  But yes, doing a repetitive activity more than you have in the past will lead to fatigue.

If you train to run 1 mile every other day, chances are you will have no problem, and maybe increase your times as time goes on.    It’s not like running a mile and then trying to run 10.

Well the problem is you are more likely running the equivalent of ~15 miles?  That's a good question, but I don't think I'm far off.

Just from general use, you are going to degrade.  This is why those runners actually pull back in advance of big races, because being fresher is an advantage.

Lol. Those cards fans are morons if they think that.

They must think that Duquette is still the GM.

I was referring very specifically to this post here:

 

Ah okay, didn't see that.  I want the Orioles to make a move and think they need to, but Elias certainly needs to show restraint to avoid trading away too many prospects for a mediocre upgrade.
