Piggybacked, with a tip of the cap to Pedro:

I doubt that Buchholz will win 30 games next season.

I keep re-reading that to try to make sense of it. You must have
snipped something improperly or something. I'm sure it seemed clever
when you hit *send*.

Didn't you, at any point, wonder if there was something about this that
you'd missed?


Uh...yeah...that was the point of MY post...WTF else would I be re-reading his???

The point sure appeared to mean Buchholz could get 15 wins.

When did Pedro win 30?

He was once asked if he could duplicate last season's record, and he
replied "That would be 46 wins", or similar. Pretty clever stuff for a
non-native speaker to realise the question should be "repeat", not
"duplicate".


I don't see what is so clever about Pedro's quote really either. At best it's an effort of obfuscating by the use of semantics. I don't get it. What is the difference? You do know what to duplicate means don't you? School me...explain this, to this poor uneducated soul here.
