And the fact that pitchers age more gracefully make me more willing to give a long term deal to a 30 year old.

If you look at the list of teams selling at the trade deadline this year, almost all of them carrying an albatross contract to a starting pitcher. It is not the only reason they are selling but it is an important reason.

Cobb for the Orioles, Kennedy for the Royals, Hernandez for the Mariners, Zimmermann for the Tigers, Chen for the Marlins.

No need for us to join the club.
