I don’t have a good analogy, though I can think of an appropriate scenario. Say, one of your best friends loses his job. Now, this is a guy was good at his job. He helped his company be the best in the business one year. Sure, his productivity tailed off of late, but injuries had a lot to do with his ineffectiveness. Unfortunately, former Washington Nationals pitcher, Sean Doolittle is the person in this scenario.
