People seem to forget that Sandy Koufax was a less than .500 pitcher, going 36-40 from 1955 to 1960.

The whole emphasis on “win now” has produced only four Rookie of Year awards in the last 29 years despite a highly rated farm system. It’s time to stop buying stars of the present at the expense of dimming our home grown stars of the future.
