Should Cash have traded Volpe for Luis Castillo?

Castillo looks electric.

Montas? Well…
Rodon? Well…

Lou Gehrig is the greatest ball player of all time.

He put up 114 WAR in 14 seasons (13 of which were healthy). He sat behind Wally Pipp for 2 seasons, and then ultimately got sick and had to hang em up.

If he doesn’t get sick, and gets 18 healthy seasons, he finishes with

160 WAR, .343 AVG, 1.105 OPS, 182 OPS+
650 2B, 650 HR, 3400 H, 2400 R, 2500 RBI

If not for Wally Pipp, he makes a run at 700 2B & 700 HR.

LEGEND.

Lou Gehrig is the greatest 1B of all time. He’s a legend. And incredible player.

None of those stats would have happened if he doesn’t get sick.

I don’t follow. None of those stats would have happened?

You think he would have stopped playing at 35?

No. But we would not have increased his career OPS in his late 30’s/early 40’s since nobody has ever done it before that wasn’t on PED’s

His OPS over his last 5 seasons would be lower, not higher. I set his production at 82% of his 4 year rate of production prior to him getting sick.

His last 165 games where he was sick get replaced with replaced with reduced “healthy” years.
