"I wish Verlander was a True Ace"

Was Chica the guy on the ESPN board that had an avatar picture of himself sipping a Zima in the sunset?

Yes. And in NO WAY was that gay.

LMMFAO.....I can't believe you even show your face (so to speak) here. The fact you belittle this thread by calling it "cute" shows it gets to you.

When you wrote it 2 years ago you were wrong the second you hit send. The only thing that has changed is Verlander has gone from an ace to the best pitcher on the planet. The best thing about your original quote isn't you questioning his "ace" status.....it's your list of who is better.....and your fucking laughable list of comparable pitchers. Kuroda and Gallardo. WOW. You sir, are a genius.

Please post your list of comparable players to other current Tigers. The winter can get long and a bit boring.....i need a laugh or two.

Tony, please post pictures of your next encounter with the Tutor....I need a new avatar.

no kidding even two years ago comparing verlander to zambrano was ridiculous...that was why I quoted that specifically.

Will Justin Verlander become the first $200M pitcher?
from DetroitFox

Only Aces get that kind of $$$$$$$$$$ Money.

If that be the case Verlander would get a $$$ 300 Million $$$ contract.

The link doesn't work. Looks like it was shortened from a longer version, since it has the "..." in the middle of it. Can you post the full link?

sorry about that newton.
and sometimes a special story on JV or Cabrera like this one is double posted to the players thread sticky from the team notes.

JV was in mid-season form today.

 

[kalinecountry]

Justin Verlander's $180M contract is largest for a pitcher in MLB history.

Since 2009, Justin Verlander ranks first in all of baseball in: Starts (135), Wins (78), WHIP (1.08), Strikeouts (977), WAR (26.0, highest among pitchers).


"How can they give this Verlander guy that kind of money when he isn't an Ace"?

 

[tomdalton22]

I thought I would bring this thread back since he has not been "ace like" this season.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Bump for Chica, wherever you are.
