[QUOTE="Ryllini, post: 1174382, member: 10826"] Can't deny that fact, but he also has to face 9 hitters every day in the AL. There are no breathers when the pitcher comes to hit. The AL has destroyed the NL head to head since 2004, the AL had 9 teams over .500 compared to 7, and the AL only had one team not reach 70 wins, the NL had 5 such teams. I'm a National League guy all the way, but top to bottom, the AL is a much tougher league to navigate. I think if you think about it and you flipped the 3 top teams from the NL central and AL central, we wouldn't have the 3 best records in baseball. Obviously teams are constructed completely different based on rules, but the numbers are there to support how they have stuffed it in our face league vs league. There are a lot of quality teams over there. This is all message board fodder, but when I saw JO's name I started putting together scenarios for fun and put one on here. I'm obviously a believer in JO and would also hate to trade MW, but if you think about it, we actually might be gaining in such a deal if it were involve a Matty Adams and young Wacha. [/QUOTE]
