My favorite National ever. Anyone who doesn't love Livo has no appreciation for style; the guy has cool to burn. Anyone planning on a rotation next year without him needs their head examined.
There is exactly one starting pitcher in the entire organization better than he is right now when you take all things into consideration. There are some others with better stuff or more potential perhaps. But not one, other than Strasburg, that I'd rather put my money on. And unlike even SS, you can count on him every 5 days...none of these nagging injuries or tweaks, and he doesn't need to have his arm babied. Plus he's a leader in the clubhouse and a mentor to our young pitchers.
On top of that, I have an affinity for the rotund (being a bit so myself) and love to see an older, pudgy guy embarrass some young, 5 tool, super athlete (probably with entourage in tow) with his savvy and experience.
Sign Dunn for next year asap...then sign Livo right behind him.
