actually I'm not 12 yet.
let's put it this way, holaday is a very good pitcher. i'd put him in the same class as mussina in his glory days - meaning he has a nice record and respectable stats but he is not an elite pitcher. he is not a shut down pitcher. never has been and never will. like mussina he doesn't show up in big games and struggles against the upper tier lineups.
that's just one child's opinion. i hope toronto's bullpen holds up for you tonight.
Do you even watch baseball? Not even sure who holaday is. Halladay has been, is now and will continue to be one of the elite pitchers in baseball WHEN HEALTHY. He has stuggled through a couple of injuries the last couple of years but is a very dominate, shut down type of pitcher. You might want to look up a few stats before you spew garbage.
oh, the old "when healthy" clause. the beauty of this argument is Halladay is proving my point at this very moment. he's struggling against a decent lineup - not a shocker.
i guess i need you to send me his "when healthy" stats and his "when not healthy' stats so I can clearly understand how great Halladay really is.
i like mussina. i followed him closely when he was with the o's and have great respect for him, but he never was never a "big game" pitcher. for me to consider a pitcher among the elite i think he has to be considered one of the best of his era and i don't think mussina will ever be looked upon like that.
