    This debate originated in the Orioles series thread. Moving it to its own thread because it's evolved into an ongoing debate.

    Contrary to popular belief it's not a common factor for anyone who's doing good up any particular point in time to degrade and stop doing so good.

    As hard as it may be to believe, plenty of players are actually pretty good all season long.

    Point being: People like to make comments like "We should trade him now before he loses value!" and/or "The offense needs to pick up because these guys aren't going to pitch like this all year!"

    While it's a realistic possibility some people seem to make these statements like it's a sure fact that needs to be prepared for.

    Case in point: Everyone was saying we should trade Linebrink before he continued to go down the downward spiral that he appeared to be on at the time.

    Lo and behold he has seemed to be back to his normal self for the past few weeks.

    Because he's shown in his limited use as of late that he's still one of our best relievers and it's silly to leave him sitting on the bench.

    I'm not worried about the change in trade value, I'm worried about Doug Brocail blowing a lead while Linebrink sits on the bench.

    Leave it to Linebrink to make me look like an ass.

    He's been good as of late....till giving up a home run yesterday.

    But it happens.

    Good thing we were already losing otherwise he could have some death threats today if he gave up the lead.

    Linebrink has given up 2 ERs in his last 18 appearances, and that includes last night's home run.

    edit: Which means it was 1 in the last 17 when I was initially making the argument that "he's been good as of late"

    Upon further review, Linebrink has only had 5 outings this year in which he's given up any ERs.
