Starting Pitcher Poll #1: Will Dempster Make 250?

Post by RonCo » Mon Dec 21, 2020 11:19 am

Luis Gracia just won his 250th game, which seems like it might well lock him into the Hall of Fame, but we shall see. Arthur Dempster is next on the active list at 225. He's 36, though, and starting to show his age. So, the question here is "Will Arthur Dempster make it to 250 wins?"

His BABIP is up right now (smallish sample size) but if it goes back down to earth he will be in a position to get some wins.

The Dempster fire is currently my team's biggest problem.

Seeing that Aaron voted yes, I should change my vote to yes, because playing time is the only thing that will keep Dempster from making it. I'd guess he's got another decent year in him next year, and after this year and next, hell be around 240-245 or so. But at his age, I expect Dempster to go fast when he he finally goes, and it's amazing how tough those last few wins can be to get.

I think Dempster falls in the 240-245 range. Also if luis gracia needed to get to 250 to lock in his HOF spot that is an embarrassment

I choose yes because, with 25 to go and a couple seasons of contract left, I'm thinking even a reduced Dempster will be around long enough to make it happen.
