I had to rewind this Gleeman gem twice to make sure I heard it correctly. Exact quote: "Ten years from now ... there's a very good chance that Joe Ryan's got 150 wins in the majors." I LOL'ed right there on the running trail. 

Putting aside the fact that Gleeman himself and the other hyper-analytics guys have devalued starter wins to the point where they're not seen as relevant, this would essentially be a Hall-of-Fame career that he's predicting out of a soon-to-be 26-year old with all of 5 garbage time MLB starts, all against terrible offenses, under his belt. An average of 15 wins per year for ten years???? This year's Cy Young winners won 13 and 11 games, to put that in perspective. I'd say it's more likely that Ryan doesn't get 15 wins in his entire MLB career. 

Thanks for the laffs!

I remember watching Martin & Lewis movies as reruns on Saturday afternoons in the 60's. You probably have to be in your seventy' to have gone to see the movies in a theater.
