    Perhaps if Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson were pitching against each other. Otherwise, no.

    Love hearing this from Porter, I sure hope he is around when we have enough talent to contend to see what he can do.

    And yea I wouldn't mind seeing an entirely new bullpen. Veres has been pretty good, but I would assume he won't be around long

    Carter's road numbers:

    .288/.382/.575/.957

    He is an all star if he could approach those number at MMP.

    It has to be the widest (or among the top) disparity in MLB.

    Norris has a wide one in the opposite direction.

    He does, although he really isn't as bad on the road as a quick glance at the stat sheet would show. Early in the season he gave up 6 earned runs and didn't get out of the first inning at Oakland. Take that one game out and his road numbers are not terrible. In 5 of 8 road starts he has allowed 3 or fewer runs going at least 6 innings. He has been outstanding at MMP since the beginning of last year though
