Look, this kid Ryu has been nothing but amazing. He now has a 12-3 lifetime record with a 2.91 ERA. I don’t know why the Dodgers GM isn’t tying up long term funds for a player who is under control for years.
Ridiculous, right?
Well, yesterday on twitter there were calls for Sandy to lock Matt Harvey up long-term.
Why?
Matt will get his payday if he continues to pitch well. Right now he is 12-9 lifetime with an ERA that was an impressive 2.26 before last night’s game.
Folks around these parts get a little too excited. Yes Matt has been awesome, but there’s no reason to rush. I say this with the wisdom of someone who saw Dwight Gooden not win 200 games. It’s a long way from 12 wins to Cooperstown, and it’s a long way from 12 wins to that first year of free agency. Sandy (or his successor) has time.
Calm down twitter.
Harvey should be offered a twenty year, guaranteed $500,000,000, contract immediately.
