@0uttis Gotta assume it was just a family and friends nickname right?

@BaseballWRLD_ @varshos_glove Cubs fan here. They’ve hated him basically his entire career. Not entirely sure why but my best guess is that fans expected him to be the second coming of Jesus and instead got a god of consistently performing slightly above average every year.

@bawfuls @notgaetti Of the 71 starting pitchers in the HOF, only 15 of them have more than 3,000 SO, so I guess a majority of those in the HOF don’t have “great” counting stats then right?

[GoodBoy, CPA @RuffWriteOffs]

@bawfuls @notgaetti David Cone, Chuck Finley, Bartolo Colon, AJ Burnett and several more. All these guys had 2,500+ SO and 200+ wins and share those leaderboards with a bunch of guys currently in the HOF.

[GoodBoy, CPA @RuffWriteOffs]

@bawfuls @notgaetti I mean, you’d have to argue Degrom would be an exception then right?

It’s a mixture of both. There have been plenty of long careers with great counting stats and no chance at making the HOF because that 4-6 year peak wasn’t there.

[GoodBoy, CPA @RuffWriteOffs]

@bawfuls @notgaetti That’s exactly where the line is drawn tho…One of the main things voters look at is their best 4-6 year peak in terms of WAR, so idk what you’re talking about. 😂

[GoodBoy, CPA @RuffWriteOffs]

@notgaetti Completely valid. My threshold has always been 400 starts before you can even be considered for HOF. Gerrit Cole will likely get there and Degrom may end up being an exception to that rule, but definitely different from the previous generation of HOFs.

[GoodBoy, CPA @RuffWriteOffs]

@HawkEmDownChris Giancarlo Stanton. Dude would easily be at 600+ home runs by now

[GoodBoy, CPA @RuffWriteOffs]

@Jake_M_Garcia Not to be rude, but is homie ok?

[GoodBoy, CPA @RuffWriteOffs]

@CPark_1985 Genuinely feels like this type of mentality is why Trump has been elected twice.

Villainizing someone for who they support politically does not appeal to your average voter and outcomes like Trump getting elected will continue to happen if you keep peddling shit like this.

[GoodBoy, CPA @RuffWriteOffs]

@LewickiMike @DodgersAndrew I’m not saying they will, but a wider range just makes more sense.

[GoodBoy, CPA @RuffWriteOffs]

@Rabadash2 Ok so how do you tax it? If all the value is held in the investment and not cash, then please tell me how you would do it.

“Sorry you had to sell your home because you had to pay taxes on an asset that had done nothing other than change in value” is an absurd thought…

[GoodBoy, CPA @RuffWriteOffs]

@SandblasterSzn $140m floor and $280m cap is where I’m thinking would be best. Allows smaller market teams to still retain players they draft and develop without having to be on the same spending level of big market teams.

[GoodBoy, CPA @RuffWriteOffs]

I get that, but then what’s the point of drafting/developing good players? Is it not crazy to you that NBA superstars often rarely play for the same team that drafted them?

All I’m saying is that there needs to be a way that a team like the pirates will actually extend Paul Skenes because they’re forced to spend instead of trading him with years of control left or letting him walk in free agency.

I’m not saying everyone needs to stay loyal for their entire career, but it’s incredibly depressing that everyone has collectively agreed that Paul Skenes has zero chance of being on the pirates 3 years from now.

[GoodBoy, CPA @RuffWriteOffs]

@SleeperMLB That’s actually insane to think about. Gap has to be wider. Something like $140m floor and $280m cap.

[GoodBoy, CPA @RuffWriteOffs]

@LandonHall The present value of his contract was 10 years, 460m. The dodgers literally have taken a $46m salary hit every year of his contract, not just $2m.

[GoodBoy, CPA @RuffWriteOffs]

@JustBB_Media @BNightengale Now do teams that would have to increase payroll. I feel like it would be pretty close to a net zero impact right?
