"Losing Pitcher" is John Danks' nickname. I've called Quintana "The Great" Jose Quintana because he is the only "great" starting pitcher in history who has never had a 15 win season. The Sox are a middle of the road team. If Quintana ever won 15 games they'd be a good team. We have an example of an actual great pitcher who has pitched on the same teams and has a .600 winning percentage.

What type of odds do I get? I'm sure we can figure something out that makes sense for both of us. I'm thinking 9 to 1 odds that he finishes next year 8 games over .500 for his career. Considering how mediocre he's been I'm taking a huge leap of faith to take odds like that. I'm willing to risk $200.

Don't be ridiculous. If he pitches 16 years that's a half a game over .500 for each season. He's quite capable of achieving such a thing, though it hardly qualifies him as "great".

You're the guy saying he is great. Maybe you should be laying the odds.

Sorry, I misread what you wrote. Eight over after next year? He's probably capable of that too, but it doesn't make him great either. How about this- we bet $100 on an O/U of 5 games above .500 for next year and I'll take the under. If he's exactly five over it's a push.

You have a deal at 4 games over .500 for his career at the end of next season.

Okay, is the the way you want to interact? Because most people here understand that you're a mouthy punk who doesn't know much. argumentum ad populum argumentum ad verecundiam argumentum ad nauseam argumentum ad hominem Did you just try to hit almost all of them all in one post? Impressive. In the sort of way that makes me want to start calling psychiatrists on your behalf.

I probably could do 5 over for his career if I get $125 for my $100.
