I got through two full paragraphs and said to myself, “gotta be Ken Schultz”. And it was. That is a good thing, btw.

Then he was great in 2016.

Then he sucked in 2017, on his way to the 7th-best bWAR among the 5 SP’s (not a misprint).

Hello, age 34 seasons and beyond.

I didn’t know that Theo’s Plan, great as it was, only included bringing in 1 “elite” (we now know as “decent”) SP in FA.

Sickens me that this team continues to belong to Lester, when its rightful leader is walking out. Thanks, Jake.

Jake deserves a warm place in our hearts but how do you saddle yourself with a long term contract for a guy that is erratic EVERY year? Great 2nd half of 2015. Great 1st half of 2016. Good 2nd half of 2017. (Maybe we could only pay for “half” years and share him with San Diego or something….)
