Well, that’s not an answer. Is it a fact that Pappas was not great?

No. Greatness is relative.

Next question.

well, he was better than probably 95% of the people on the planet (if not more) at throwing a baseball. Does that make him great? Are you better at anything than 95% of the people on the planet at anything? I doubt it.

Guys in triple AAA are also better than 99% of the world at baseball. You’re acting like a 12 year who really wants to say something but doesn’t actually have anything to add.

AAA players are better than 99% of the population. That isn’t what we’re talking about.

It’s going to be hilarious when CS has to review all these not-offensive, on-topic redlines.

Mariners Edgar Martinez would have to return to baseball and go 0-for-660 without reaching base safely for his career on-base percentage to dip below Tony Gwynn's lifetime .388 on-base percentage.
