My guys usually get hit by the ugly stick pretty early, but my closer "Deadeye" Oono has been lucky so far. He even took a pay cut this year despite a career best 1.81 ERA with 50 saves and 0 BS (except in the last game of the playoffs...)

He just parked himself at 98 SI back in his mid-twenties and refuses to budge. Not the oldest player on the team, maybe, but the oldest one who has been defied the last couple of aging updates. He’s a solidly dependable anchor at the back of the rotation for a team down in VI.7 like mine. It’s going to be a shame when he finally rusts. (He was actually the first guy I looked at after the aging update, I was curious if he had started going downhill yet. …Nope!) Updated Saturday, December 3 2016 @ 8:58:11 pm PST

This year he lost one pt in range and bat control. He is only 3 pts lower than his all time si. I noticed that catchers seem to have aged less than other positions while older pitchers stamina and fastball decreased by more than past years.
