The Jon Heyman twitter thread

[Warner2BruceTD]

But neither Navaro nor Suppan can boast Morris' 14 opening day starts. I remember when the Braves in the 1980's would start Rick Mahler on opening days, because he tended to always win those starts. Odd.

The whole decade statistical leader concept annoys me, because anyone whose career happened to span the entire decade has a huge advantage. I think of all the great hitters in the 1990s, Mark Grace ended up having the most hits for that decade.

The one comment that I found most funny was the claim that Jack Morris was the ace on a staff that included Dave Stewart...yet Stewart isn't a HOF pitcher, either. Don't understand how that could possibly be a HOF argument..."was better than a pitcher not in the HOF!"

Also, it's bullshit anyway. The only year Morris played with Stewart, Morris went 7-12 with a 6.19 ERA and got bounced from the rotation for Al Leiter. And Stewart himself was 36 and at best the #3 starter by that point.

So apparently (and I didn't know this) but Heyman use to be on the other side of the fence regarding steroids and them getting into the Hall.

Listen to this radio segment, it's within the first 10 minutes. It's a sweet segment regardless: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/audio/98...-hour-5-11013/

Not a tweet, but an article Heyman wrote:

Here's a look at the most likely Lohse players …

Brewers. With Lohse, they look like a bona fide contender. The payroll is down slightly from last year and the team is said to have a little spending money.
Indians. It's hard to count them out of anything now. Had an exceptionally busy offseason. Wouldn't be required to give up a first-rounder, just as they weren't with the Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn signings.
Rangers. They might need one more starter, especially if Colby Lewis suffers any setbacks or Joe Nathan isn't what they expect (he's sidelined now only for precautionary reason). They have the money, but in the end other teams seem to like Lohse more. They'd have to give up a draft choice but did acquire one already, with Josh Hamilton's signing with Los Angeles of Anaheim.
Red Sox. They look like they could use another set starter, and Felix Doubront is off to a slow start this spring (technically, so is Clay Buchholz).
Angels. They are a terrific team with an imposing lineup, but the rotation was weakened with the departures of Zack Greinke, Dan Haren and Ervin Santana (Tommy Hunter, Joe Blanton and Jason Vargas are in).
Orioles. They have as many as 12 possible starters but could use a No. 1 or 2. Another team that doesn't want to give up the draft choice, though.
Yankees. Word is “no chance.'' But if Phil Hughes' back injury lingers, who knows?
Cardinals. It would likely take a setback by one or two of their veteran starters or weak spring by their vaunted trio of young starters.

John Maerzke @jmaerzke

@JonHeymanCBS has a sit down interview with Ryan Braun...writes about Kyle Lohse instead. Scott Boras must pay Heyman well.

And blocked.

It's up to you guys to keep the thread going now. #groin.

any mention of Boras will get you the block from this guy now

Need Bill Simmons to weigh in on whether or not this transcends the sport.
