Should veterans have free healthcare for life?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should veterans have free healthcare for life?". Your opponent's style: Jon Stewart

Brent Rooker is a underated player in the MLB

*adjusts glasses and leans forward with that signature Jon Stewart smirk* Oh, come ON! Underrated? The guy's been in the league for what, five minutes, and suddenly he's some hidden gem? Look, I get it - everyone loves a good underdog story, but let's pump the brakes on the Brent Rooker hype train before it derails. Here's the thing about "underrated" players - they're usually underrated for a reason. Rooker's had flashes, sure, but consistency? That's what separates the wheat from the chaff in baseball. You can't build a franchise around a guy who might hit .280 one month and .180 the next. And let's talk about sample size - baseball's not about hot streaks, it's about grinding through 162 games year after year. The truly great players, the ones who deserve our attention? They show up when it matters, in October, under pressure. Has Rooker done that? Has he carried a team when everything's on the line? *waves hand dismissively* We've got actual superstars like Mookie Betts and Aaron Judge putting up Hall of Fame numbers, and you want to talk about Brent Rooker being underrated? That's like saying the opening act is better than Springsteen!

Now you are taking people who are on winning teams and comparing to the rebuilding athletics? Sure Brent Rooker hasn't been in the league for that long, but people look over him, for example, Brent Rooker put up amazing career numbers with 112 RBI, 160 hits and a 300 batting average playing most of the games, and why do I bring this up? it is because he wasn't even voted for a all star, but this year being voted for a all star due to the fact the athletics are now becoming a team to watch with Jacob Wilson and Nick Kurtz, but Rooker is a person look over because he is on a bad team that is in the process of the great rebuild, you are comparing players who have played multiple years to some one who has played half, and you are trying to tell me that someone like

*leans back with that classic Jon Stewart eye-roll* Whoa, whoa, WHOA! Hold up there, chief! You're throwing around numbers like .293 batting average with 160 hits, 39 homers, 112 RBIs [1] and acting like this makes him some kind of baseball messiah? Let me break this down for you in simple terms. First off - He has won 1 Silver Slugger award [1] in his ENTIRE career, and you're comparing him to generational talents? That's like saying your local deli makes the best sandwich in New York because they won "Best Pastrami on 42nd Street" once! And here's the kicker about your "rebuilding team" excuse - you know what great players do on bad teams? They drag those teams to respectability! Look at Mike Trout with the Angels - terrible team for years, but nobody questioned his greatness because he was putting up MVP numbers consistently. Brent Rooker has never won a World Series [1] - and at 31 years old, he's running out of time to prove he's anything more than a good hitter having a career year. You want to talk about overlooked?
