What on God's green earth is this guy thinking still pitching? I mean, seriously, with San Fran? I know the money is addicting but this guy was past his prime 4 or maybe even 5 years ago. Nice little ERA of 8+ so far this season too. What goes through these guys minds when they reach this point in their career?

Montreal Expos (1988-1989) Seattle Mariners (1989-1998) Houston Astros (1998) Arizona Diamondbacks (1999-2004) New York Yankees (2005) then Arizona again, and now San Fran.

You can't tell me he hasnt been well comped.

I know for a fact he hung Drayton McClain over the barrel when he was in Houston. God knows what "the Boss" gave him for his short tenure there.

And now he's been promptly given the hook after giving up 5 runs off 8 hits in the 4th inning to the Dodgers. Its time to hang them up.

He is no doubt one of the best in our generation. With that said, he doesnt need to become a "has been" who is running on fumes for the next one.

300 wins is his main goal now. He's probably retired after this year.

It's not like he was terrible last year though. ERA+ of 117 which is above average.

And a 123 the year before that. This year he doesn't have it. The previous years one could definitely argue that he had some left in the tank.

He can still be a good pitcher now and then, but his best days are waaaaaay behind him. He was great his last game, but I do not know if he can bring it on a consistent basis.
