That's your decision. I was simply trying to have a discussion with you. All you've done is dismiss any attempts I've made to engage you in a discussion and followed up with polemics. I would hardly call asking you to explain your point of view toxic.

I don't think he's been underperforming except insofar pitch counts, injury and a shutdown have limited his counting stats. His performance has been outstanding and barring those factors he'd likely have two straight 200 K seasons and possibly even a K title and a 20 win season. Even so he has been arguably the best #1 selected pitcher through his age 24 season (his only competition would be David Price who had a great age 24 season).

I could not agree more. Just for more context, only 5 pitchers who have been selected #1 in the last 48 years have gone on to appear in an All Star game. I know the All Star game was dismissed earlier but I do think it says something when you consider how few times it's happened.

I actually take all star selections for pitchers a little more seriously than for position players since they are chosen by the managers and coaches rather than by fan ballot.
