You know, there's like 400 reasons the current front office of the Red Sox gets a lot of criticism.
The one area I don't think they get enough heat for is just giving up Chris Sale for essentially nothing because Vaughn Grissom didn't really pan out because, boy, they'd like to have Chris Sale now.
And the way I wrote that piece is like we cannot look at the Cooperstown conversations with Hall of Fame starting pitchers.
We can't just compare them to the guys of years past.
No one's going to throw as many innings as Nolan Ryan.
And before that, no one's going to throw any innings as Walter Johnson.
It's not going to happen.
It doesn't mean guys today aren't great.
We just have to think about it differently.
And people don't like to hear this, but that conversation has been happening forever.
Because I guarantee you, in 1925 or whatever, when you're looking at Walter Johnson's career, there was some old-timer who was like, well, back in my day, being in the 1880s, men were men.
And pitchers threw more innings.
This has always happened.
So we're just going to have to think about how we do this, because they're not going to hit innings wins.
you know, you know, wins above replacement thresholds.
And I think sale is kind of an interesting case because he's sort of on the borderline of the old school and the new school.
Like we are either at the end or nearing the end of the last great generation of starting pitchers and sense of like Verlander, Kershaw, Scherzer, these guys that have retired or will be retiring soon.
And they're a little bit more of the old school 220 inning horses and
And Sale was that guy.
You know, he has four seasons of over 200 innings, which to even say that right now is incredible.
