Highest WAR totals of all time, 90 or fewer games played in a season. Of course most of these are from 19th century or Negro leagues that played shorter schedules. Also, this year because the season is only half over.

I love that Mule Suttles had 130 RBI in 89 games in 1926. That's 237 per 162 games. And Ross Barnes' '76 runs scored total extrapolated out to 162 is 309.

I would sign Gunnar to literally any extension he'd agree to. We aren't going to be upset about paying 40-50 million a decade from now when we get his age 26-30+ seasons.

You'd do the Ohtani deal but without the deferred money?

I remember seeing him in that age 20 season and thinking he was Christ in cleats. 

Wanted to really like that guy but he made it impossible. Hell of a player. I don’t care about the PEDs like I used to but he was amazing without the juice. 

That analogy makes me uncomfortable.

It's not my money. If the new ownership is comfortable with it, why not? I'd prefer something a bit more traditional though.

Oh, so you'd let someone else sign him to any contract.

Got it.

I was confused when you said you'd do it.

Assuming the O's end up with say the 20th payroll in baseball, would you be willing to allocate 70M a year to one player?

If the Hangout is here and I’m here and Gunnar is hitting .240 with a .710 OPS and is at 3B in the year 2034 and he’s signed for another 5 years at 50M a year and that’s 20% of total payroll, who won’t be upset?

What is the point of this kind of thing? Of course he didn't mean he would personally sign a professional baseball player to a multi-million dollar contract. Why on earth would you even entertain that idea, let alone post this kind of GOTCHA response based on it? Just to prove that you understand the English language better than everybody else?

I am sorry that is happening to you.

They said "I'd give him anything" and then follow up with "It's not my money!".

That's nonsense.

And then when I give them an actual situation to respond to, we get nothing.

Almost all of us would gladly give Gunnar a huge contract if it would somehow not impact the rest of the roster in a negative manner.

It doesn't work that way.

I don't think Miss Katherine Lee would be pleased.

That’s not Katherine Lee Rubinstein, I guess?
more’s the pity, though maybe not for her…

The whole idea of Rubinstein offering a daughter as an enticement is pretty gross and I wish you'd drop it.

Oh my gosh, I’m joking. Sheesh.

edit: however, I don’t want to offend anyone, so I’ll delete them. But gosh, I was just joking, and I didn’t phrase it in an improper way.

Jokes can't be gross?

I guess this book is a lie.
