[quote][i]Originally posted by Count Zero[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Slade[/i] No, you can't build your franchise around Munenori Kawasaki. That would be like building your franchise around Heath Slater. He's fun to have around, but that's about it. On the other hand, you can justifiably build the future of your franchise around a guy who is an above average contributor and who has the potential to become an elite player, like Marcus Stroman. [Edited on 2-24-2016 by Slade] [/quote] A lot of people see Roman Reigns as being perfectly average with average potential. Marcus Stroman is going into his 2nd full year of being a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball. If you're building around that sort of an unknown quantity & not backing it up with anything else... You're still going to get what-the-hells from many corners. That's why they've tried (we'll see how it works) to round out the pitching staff with guys who can pick up the ball & run with it if Stroman fizzles in his sophmore/junior year. Or, to bring it back to Roman: He's on his third year of "Being a starter" and gets hit out of the park regularly, when he's not walking guys left & right. Why would he be my ace? Right now, he's best suited for "long relief" (the midcard) with the hopes that MAYBE he'll figure out another pitch or two, or lock in his accuracy, or maybe experiment with velocity, or just basically ANYTHING to be more valuable in the eyes of "those who understand these things". In cricket terms, he's not my bowler at the death of the innings. In basketball terms, he's not my clutch go-to shooter. In football terms, he drops way too many passes to be the primary receiver. Etc Etc Etc. But the E are presenting him like he IS the best option, and it's leading to a lot of what-the-hellification. What's that saying about potential? Potential and a ten dollar bill will get you a coffee at Starbucks? Or maybe not even that, these days. It's been a while since I frequented the local Sixbucks. To put it in terms of physics, for those scientifically minded, potential energy has to be turned into kinetic energy at some point. Roman's not kineticized. :words: PS. Kawasaki lets the good times roll! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Tr_3-Yk96Wk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> [/quote]
