That one is better.

I get your point but you can usually count on a good lineman to have a decently long career. A pitcher can have a Cy Young type of season then pretty much get shelled after. I just find investing a lot in pitchers to be scary so I can't say the Astros are completely wrong.

Well I guess the rest of the league should have too because he wasn't going to fall very far in the draft if the Astros didn't take him.

Not saying pitching is not important but I think good player evaluation coupled with the way the CBA is, a team could have good pitching without shelling out hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm just thinking out loud here.

But rarely has it proved that giving a pitcher a +100 million dollar is worth it. It's usually been a bad investment.

This might sound like a far fetched idea but are we going to reach a point where pitchers become extremely devalued do to the high probability of injury? Kind of like NFL running backs? Increasingly pitchers are becoming a flash in the pan type of profession. Maybe the Astros weren't totally wrong?

Same guy.

Ohh that brings me back.

First time I have ever seen this. It's like Colbert doing press night.

Bro, deez nuts.

Bad

He is just such a little kid!

Bad guy.

This is a tribacle.

Or at least the activity before the gift basket.

I'm really glad I didn't watch. I win.

Damned if the woman speaks up damned if she doesn't. Because if she does than she is just going to be labeled as an opportunist and if she doesn't well then she is just raped.

Because that is totally what this article is saying.

Kotaku comment boards crush my hope for humanity.

Wow, after reading through a god awful mountain of comments from people who didn't have their listening ears on today, I want to thank you for actually posting a well nuanced thread. It's sad that trying to understand both perspectives in a dispute is rare.
