(Understood, of course, that it never will attain greatness) O'Neill is far superior to the little I've heard from Tino on-air. Michael Kay and O'Neill are a lot of fun together, but Paul doesn't like to travel.

O’Neill is far superior to the little I’ve heard from Tino on-air. Michael Kay and O’Neill are a lot of fun together, but Paul doesn’t like to travel.

I'm really in shock after seeing that picture. He's in horrible shape. Didn't the Yanks give this guy a physical? For someone who is prone to injury, being in that type of physical condition only increases the odds of an injury. And what the heck is he wearing? Wow. I’m really in shock after seeing that picture.

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, how do we know he didn't. It's ridiculous. If I were a clean player that was of HOF caliber, I'd let them take a test tube of blood 3 times a season (spring training, AS Break and September) and say keep it for however long you want and test it whenever.

]]> Comment on The top ten players of all time by John S http://www.yankeeroundtable.com/2010/02/27/the-top-ten-players-of-all-time/comment-page-1/#comment-41811 John S Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:54:10 +0000 http://www.yankeeroundtable.com/?p=6201#comment-41811 Harder to do a list for pitchers for sure. Some of the old greats did umpteen innings, but did not have night games and long airplane travel. For the old timers case, they also had no air conditioning for relief on 98 degree summer days, and no trainers or medical staff of any worth. And the problem of relief pitchers and only six innings can be considered a "quality start" - didn't exist big time until last few decades. Hard to go apples to apples for pitchers.
