:mjlol: "Fake ace" the man has had two major shoulder surgeries. 99.9% of pitchers never ever ever ever recover from ONE.

Matt Harvey was utterly dominant before his arm gave out, not his fault his arm gave. Some guys just aren't built to handle the strain of pitching like that.

Pitchers are the running backs of the MLB it seems now. You can’t give them long term contracts, because nowadays, they’ll suck or be hurt for at least half of the contract
Nah problem isn't pitchers, it's the way Baseball FA is structured, guys don't hit it until they are approaching their decline years unless they flew through the minors and debuted at like 21-22. Every FA has a terrible tail on their contracts. You just hope the value you get from the early years off-sets the decline years.

True. A prime example of this is Pujols right now
