If Verlander was 27 or 28 at the time, I would agree with you. But he wasn't. And we're no longer dealing with pitchers from the year 2002. The chances of Verlander or any power pitcher (this is why Price, Sabbathia, and Grienke are not apt comparisons) with that many innings/pitches under their belts sustaining the success at 31, 32, or 33 are slim to none. Him falling off was not difficult to project.

and his contract is actually kind of a deal at this point... and he might get another 3 year 80 million after it.

It blows my mind that after 100+ years and 154 / 162 games per year per team, that each and every year, we still have several "first time in MLB history" accomplishments.
