Yeah, I agree. I think he is what he is though and it's certainly not a problem. I don't know if he'll ever be that dominating ace, but 15 wins or so, a sub 4 ERA, 200+ innings, and a nice bat as well every year. It's like Aramis. They're both capable of bigger and better things and obviously we're greedy and would like to see that, but they're still damn good and do it every single year, so it's hard to complain too much.

That perfectly sums up how I feel.
Still, I'm not a cold, clinical observer. I'm a fan. Thus I want more.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
