My whole point is while the tools may be there (I don't think they are, whatever).

No team is going to pay to develop and harness those tools on a 30 year old pitcher.

this.

Lol, trivialize? You wont to over blow it. Hoe about AL pitchers can stay in longer because you dont have to pinch hit for a pitcher which can help there stats. There is a difference but not this night and day thing. There is some NL pitchers that could probably outhit some those AL DH's. Yet again, there is a difference but not this giant gap you seem to think.

right. because im so sure that every GM would take a pitcher over their current starting DH...especially those who can "outhit" a DH all be it a total fucking sample size of at bats..but hey..lets throw a tennis ball at the wall and hope it sticks. just idiotic. :rolleyes:

Unreal that you still don't know what you were trying to argue?

So, it's this huge gap? I'm glad you put facts in that expert analysis. On point once again. Grunt grunt grunt!

Thought it was a given, but the average pitcher hit like .135 in the NL last year and the average DH hit .256.

Is it a huge gap? Nope. Not at all.

Is it the difference between California's coast line and Japan's coast? Yes, about that. :)

Ive agreed there is a difference but what you are failing to realize is just because you play in the AL doesnt mean you are facing better hitting. It depends big time on the division and with the inclusion of interleague play all year there is a gap but not this monster gap. There is a fucking huge difference pitching the AL East then pitching in the AL Central. Did that ever cross yall mind?

There are pitchers with over 200 career at bats with over a .700 OPS. You also take away pinch hitters considering NL pitchers dont pitch as many inning because they are taken down for pitch hitters. Yet again, I said some pitchers. You blew it into all because you have a reading comprehension problem. Just like how you lost what the debate was about with Shark. Knock that sand out that **** gobbler you have and then Ill pound it some more.

In the NL you pitch to only 6/7 batters becase you can always pitch around 8 to get to the pitcher. That's not there in the AL.

Good to see the Samardzija fan club thinks this is PlayStation or Xbox.

As has been said he's more valued to the Cubs than anyone else.

Asking more than Price??? (Drug usage?)
That's not outlandish (Sullivan at a minimum getting hammered)
