    I'm saying he entered the league as a 19 year old, and still posted a respectable OPS of .739.  It has climbed every year, with the exception of last year. As a comp, Mike Trout entered the league at 19 as well, and posted an OPS of .672. Not trying to say Machado is in Trout's class (nobody is, or has been) although much of Manny's career has been spent at a more premium position. Just saying it's pretty harsh to judge a kid as "only" putting up a few good years when he's just reaching the age that many major leaguers get their first taste, and still a ways from his prime production years. Does that make more sense?

    So, I should ignore that the Dodgers are over-paying because he entered the league at  nineteen with a barely above average OPS? Or that Mike Trout had a worse first year even though he's completely uncomparable since then?

    How are you addressing that he's not worth the prospects or the money?

    No offense, but I don't feel like continuing to argue is fair to you.

    I would guess about half of all cancer doctors are Democrats.  Why are you not cursing them for not offering free services to people with cancer?  Isn't that the easiest answer?

    That is a lot easier answer than demanding millions of other people basically work for free to earn money they won't get because it goes to pay for a forced higher premium that has nothing to do with their personal health risk, goes to a profit based insurance company that takes a chunk.

    I think you don't have the courage to keep it simple and just call cancer doctors out for refusing to work for free, Democrat doctors included.

    My mother died of cancer at an age too young.  Nobody else on this planet was responsible for her disease.  It was tragic.  But I never was so adolescent to believe her personal misfortune magically becomes everyone else's problem to solve.

    And if I did, then it would only make sense to be upset that there were not cancer doctors giving her free healthcare that nobody had to be forced to pay for.

    Well guess what?  Doctors are not expected to work for free to take care of someone else's problem.  If we accept that, then the adult logic says we should not expect non-doctors to be forced to pay for someone else's problem.

    And frankly, if this is your passion, go to school to become a cancer doctor and treat people for free or donate 100% of your money to pay for it.

    Or, keep all your own money, don't go to medical school to help people, and just call Republicans names for being exactly as greedy as you are with their time and money.

     

    That was actually disgusting to read.

    This is why we should have a no politics policy. 

    Sorry about your Mom by the way. Politics aside, YK is being a giant something something about that.
