Making statements about pitchers, for example Jose Contreras

Kevin Kennedy recently wrote an article for Fox Sports.com about how Jose Contreras has really found his niche, & he & Dibs spent awhile taking shots at the Yankees for not working it out with Contreras. We heard all about how the White Sox got so many starting pitchers to pitch longer into games & how smart that was. Recently, Contreras signed a 3 year extension. Now, seemingly out of the blue, he's injured. By the way, he had injuries while he was at the Yankees. We don't know & may never know how Contreras' present maladies developed. It should be obvious that pitchers aren't always forthcoming about these matters. Dave Van Dyck now refers to Jose as 'the best pitcher in baseball...' in case you want to know the objectivity of the rank & file of voting members of the BBWAA. You guys all need a story--I realize this. But, you're anxious to avoid the biggest pitching story in baseball, so you cast around trying to drum up a substitute. And, you don't succeed. Better luck next time to baseball writers. You'll need it.
