You keep right on talkin' in your world, and I'll keep right on talkin' in mine :-)

By the way, watching Cole Hamels carefully in Safeco, I am even more prone to comp him and Hultzen than I was before...
Hamels and Bedard get the hitters 'in between' with their change-speed games, and then by the time they zing that nasty little 91-92 sidearm FB onto the black, it looks 99 mph...
Hamels, Santana, Bedard and Zito -- you could even include the 200-K Jeff Fassero in this -- threw 91'ish fastballs RIGHT BY hitters for 8, 9, 10 strikeouts a game, and the change speed / deception simply never wore old for them...
If the Mariners are thinking ANYthing other than the Hamels-Santana-Bedard-Zito template for Hultzen, then yes they are setting themselves up for disappointment ... if they are wanting Danny Hultzen to pitch like CC Sabathia, they are not gonna receive the desired services for payment rendered...
