Has anyone ever seen Juan Minaya throw lefthanded? It ain’t pretty… I say let him continue to pitch righthanded!

Ha, thank you. Not sure where exactly that came from on my part.

Luebke and Jon Singleton are very good arguments for why players should sign early extensions if they can.

And Sale and Quintana are very good arguments for why they shouldn’t. For every guy that signs an extension like this and has arm troubles, there’s a guy who exceeds it, sometimes by a wide margin. It all comes down to a player’s risk tolerance and how much they believe they need to set themselves up for life.

You cannot blame Quintana and Sale for signing life changing extensions.
At any time they could suffer a career ending injury and be kicking themselves for not securing the future of their families.
Your life will not be materially different if you make $150 million vs. $50 million. You are still loaded.

Yeah, for every Luebke there are like ten pitchers who flamed out early. Josh Johnson and Mark Prior and Brandon Webb and Mark Fidrych and Tommy Hanson and Brien Taylor come to mind immediately. I know some of those guys made a lot of money, but some didn’t. Think about Matt Anderson or Ryan Anderson or….well, you get the point, right?
