Around SBN: Staturday: Does Jason Giambi help the A's? Bar-right-arrows



Agegate and Jamie Moyer

Bumppo.net offers some striking new evidence that the Mariners' beloved lefty may not have been entirely truthful when he celebrated his 43rd birthday.

I wonder what this'll do to his PECOTA comps.

Hilarious!
Jamie Moyer is now Mother Abilgail. Does that make Carl Everett Randall Flagg?

Only
If that makes one of your other players Roland Deschain. Now that'd be awesome

D?nedain
The explanation is simple - Moyer is a DĂșnedain.

PECTA will be meaningless, as there won't be any comps for him.  It may be Nate Silver's first negative similarity score.

PECOTA comps
Satchel Paige, maybe?  He pitched nearly into his 60's.

Drinking from Tuck's Well...
And Driscoll looks a bit like Richie Sexson.

What, did Richie and Jamie not share some of that well water with Bret Boone?

Jamie is 108?
Yeah that sounds about right.

That looks so much...
like Jamie, I thought it was photoshopped! Almost scary.

He hasn't aged a day
I have a better theory.

Jamie Moyer is some kind of vampire.  He is kinda pale.  Though that would make baffling the fact he does not catch fire and disintegrate in the sun during day games, which is why I speculate he is 'some kind of vampire' rather than a genuine vampire.

Discuss.

Maybe some kind of immortality of some sort...
Jamie will still be pitching in his 60's to a 70 something year old Julio Franco when Felix retires.

I'm surprised Rickey Henderson retired
I so thought that guy was gonna throw the walker aside and steal second well into his 60's.

Maybe
To continue with the Dark Tower theme...he is a Type C vampire.
