@SandyMac718 I've been on twitter long enough to have had that argument. 2009 was all about the reds record, 2010 was just basically a wash, and 2011 Votto cleared.

It's certainly impressive, but I think some context helps too.

It took Williams 79 games to get a lead of 19 runs
by game 97 where Wood is at Ted had 98 runs scored.

Since baseball added more games (1961) to the schedule the ASB has had more games since the break.

@chip1er78 @phins_aggies @DanClarkSports Name one of those jobs, and then ask yourself if there are any men in that job who are also excellent in that job.

That’s essentially what you are saying.

@SteveEnders8 @maygren80 @_chaseford @LO_Cardinals Not exactly true about early start struggles.

ERA by month
April-5.82
May-4.68
June-6.65
July he has 2 starts so far, so 12 innings and 2ER.

@SandyMac718 @joe03454186 By your analogy since 2b is easier than ss, it would be more akin to go from starting to being a reliever.

[Cody G. @CodeeG]

@SandyMac718 @joe03454186 I’ll be as kind as I can as I’m a JJW fan and cardinals fan.
A ss playing second base with some previous experience at the position is not an impressive feat. It should be expected. Him being great at second now that’s been a revelation, but it’s not impressive hes playing 2b.

[Cody G. @CodeeG]

@SandyMac718 @joe03454186 You’re being obtuse to make a point that doesn’t need making. Him being able to play second was never in question coming into the season, and him playing second last year and in college is a point you’re ignoring to make your point.

[Cody G. @CodeeG]

@joe03454186 @SandyMac718 Not to mention in the minors last season.

BREAKING: In its next CBA, the league is proposing a max contract length of 5 yrs for free agent players switching teams, 6 years to retain their own players. No deferred contracts. Qualifying offer is gone too. Also, 5 years to free agency for players 30 or older.
