That wasn't about strength though.
Best lefthander to ever pitch.

Kei Igawa?

He won't love playing on that surface, that's for sure. The guy is quite fragile. Played a full season this past year, but artificial turf will not help him stay healthy.

Yes....but this has nothing to do with him being past his prime.

I never said he was. BUT....speed is a huge part of his game, and that does deteriorate quickly over time.

There is talk of putting in grass.

Ya lets take 2 weeks off negotiating. Great approach. 10,000+ people out of a job because of this and we want to take a 2 week break. #nhl


...said Joffrey Lupul...it's nice to see him so concerned about those jobs as he currently steals one from a European-based hockey player.

fat slobs like us do. athletes who, you know, work out every day can maintain their physical peak--speed included--well into their 30s.

I don't care which one you choose. He's a great player and I haven't doubted that. But speed diminishes over time and he has especially delicate legs.

No Adam. This is not the same. He will not lose all of his speed of course. But the part that makes him what he is will lessen more quickly once he is 30ish.

He will be fine.

He played a full, healthy season last year, so I will wait and see on this issue.
