There's this historical belief, that I think is overstated, which holds that Ron Darling was a good pitcher, but anytime that Gooden and Fernandez or Gooden and Cone or Gooden and Viola or Cone and Viola or Gooden and Saberhagen or whoever weren't available, Darling could never step up and BE the #1 pitcher. Like I said, I think it's been overstated, although Darling has said as much himself, but I'm kind of digging in a big way that deGrom is doing this with Syndergaard questionable and Harvey grinding and the Mets on the skids of late. Stay gold, deGromowitz.
