February 1, 2012
It’s been the custom in the last half-century or so for critics to ask expressly — and artists, obliquely, through their work — to ask, “What is art?”

77 IP isn’t enough work. How did Craig even qualify for ROY honors. 77 IP is only about eight games worth of service, divide that by a full season and you get only a smaller number. Some fraction that doesn’t even come equal to one. Jesus Gonzalez, for what did he even get paid!?
