    X-man is the only untainted SS to ever have 30 HR's and 50 doubles in a season.

    The SLUG(ger) A-rod also did it.

    Getting the Toronto feed and was informed that the Jays will be seriously looking for a good defensive CF for next season. Interesting.

    He does hold the distinction of being the last drafted good starter to emerge out of the SOX farm system. How sad is that?

    At the rate MLB is going there will be a last good starter one of these days and sooner than it should be. We will be left with:
    - Openers
    - Featured pitchers
    - What next...Un-featured pitchers
    - Set up men
    - Closers

    Then there be the 1A bunch.....the ever present everyday players that always wanted to throw SOMEDAY. Someday brought on by there being nobody left to throw out of the aforementioned "A" group....or maybe somebody that is still remotely a pitcher should be referred to as the "B" group since there will be no A grade MLB pitchers left.

    I guess that makes the everyday players that throw the 1B group. We will soon only have hope to ever see an actual pitcher of MLB quality again. As soon as the current crop led by Verlander retires, its DONE.....finished. Maybe the DeGrom generation hangs on for awhile after the Verlander group retires. That will finally be the end. The actual starter will be extinct.

    What a cluster!

    I’m not sure I can spell Xander’s last name so I never put it on here.

    No Problem. Work must be if anything well rested at this point. Then again, there may be no need of him by the time we actually get to the 9th inning.
