I didn't say that Kluber would theoretically suck in '19 because he was miserable the past 2 years; he was utterly dominant in '16 and that certainly didn't carry over into '17 and '18.
I was using the logic that many in this thread abide by (and which the Indians are evidently using by exploring the option) that if a retool is necessary, Kluber makes a lot of sense, for various reasons that several posters have already enumerated.
If you're conceding that Kluber was "bad" in '17 and '18 (huge gasp), then you're actually agreeing with ONE of the points I made in my previous post. I made zero correlations to Kluber's previous starts and a hypothetical '19 scenario. Nestled somewhere in that post is a remark I made about wanting to keep him, go back and try to find it.
Hard pass, thanks.
The "Kluber sucks in the playoffs" angle has been babbled about around here from more people than just you. That's why you weren't quoted.
