I'm hearing everybody untouchable list. Nowhere do I see Newcomb. Is that understood or what? Kids becoming one of my favorites behind Inciarte and Freeman.

Really like Newcomb, but i don't have him on the same level as Soroka/Allard, and certainly not Acuna.

If we were getting a Top line starter I'd be fine trading him.

However, I do agree that I enjoy watching him. Emotionless, works fast, doesn't give in, insane talent.

Of all of these, I want Gray. He'd probably cost the least and he's starting to trend back to the high level pitcher he was two years ago.

Agree, he's certainly the most intriguing and probably the best value. However, sounds like the Brewers are getting close to reeling him in.

Damn that's 40+ years ago

What can I say, I'm an old bastard

And after watching him a little more, it wasn't that accurate of a comparison. Buildwise, Gohara is more like this guy, only a little pudgier (and he debuted only 30+ years ago):
