Holliday for Norby?

I just don't see why age matters.  It's not like Norby is going to be 40 when his 6 years of control are over.  You could actually argue that a player's age 23-29 seasons are more valuable than age 20-26.  

Do we get bonus points for Holliday being only 20?  Where does that show up in the box score?  

If you see a 20 year old and a 24 year old put up the same exact numbers at the same level do you think they are equivalent prospects?

Again, what does age matter when we only have them for 6 years?  Also great, you've successfully argued with me that Holliday at age 20 is more valuable than Norby at age 24.  So now just shoot Holliday a text and let him know that he can start performing and make that a reality.  

I think we all just want to win and win right now.

The age-at-level gap implies a talent advantage for Holliday that will likely be demonstrated across those 6-7 years.

This topic implies a fun parallel universe where we traded Holliday+ for Rogers and the Trevor Rogers 2024 thread is 200+ pages long.

That's just not true.  The difference in age alone is huge.

Beat me to it. Thank you.

You would think this would be obvious but alas, here we are.
