Snowy Demon Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 31 minutes ago, JUSTgottaBELIEVE said: You’re comparing position players and a reliever with career years to a starting pitcher. How many starting pitchers led the league or were close to leading the league in strikeouts in their mid 20s and then fell off the face of the earth after that? The only case I can think of happened 20+ years ago with Rick Ankiel. Outside of injury, it just doesn’t happen. You don’t luck into a 200+ strikeout season. German Marquez, Tyler Mahle, Robby Ray, Kyle Wright, Danny Salazar, Dylan Bundy (2020 but having a career season), Mike Minor... just within last 10 years who had one absolutely great years but never really sustained. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Márquez has a career WAR of 17 and he’s only 29 (only 3 WAR less than Burnes at same age). Mahle, Salazar, and Ray all got hurt. That’s a different argument altogether. Wright was horrible before his one good season (Crochet has been very good his entire career when he’s on the mound). Dylan Bundy doesn’t even belong in this conversation.

Marine layer didn’t help Dylan on Friday night against the brew crew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
