A disastrous move then, and one that has haunted the franchise ever since. When you have the chance, you take it. As shown since then, no one has a clue why any of these things happen and if an innings cap even helps. Pulling him from an opportunity to win a title and then watching him proceed to have the durability of a Ford pinto with 250k miles on it ever since will go down as one of the dumbest self inflicted wounds I’ve ever seen as a fan.
