I like this way of thinking about a roster:
The lineup is the body, the pitching staff is the wardrobe. The appearance of the team changes game to game based on the pitcher, but the core is the same. The ace is your best suit, your best reliever could be your smoking jacket. (I guess A.J. Burnett is your kid’s urine-soaked PJs)
Maybe more like the ratty pair of pants you use for cleaning out the garage.
And Greg Maddux was like your best suit, only it pees on the suits next to it at the dry cleaners. ]:-)
Poor AJ Burnett. Rarely has someone been victim of a worse metaphor.
