  1. Welcome to last week.
  2. I’m going to be optimistic and believe for now that it’s because he’s hitting 9th all the time that he’ll always know.
  3. It’s optimal to have your best hitters at 1, 2, and 4 by The Book. 2 should be your best overall hitter (Alvarez) and 4 should be a big power bat (Tucker>Bregman). 3 should be filled in after those guys ideally.
  4. So reiterating what everyone has known for like 2 years then.
  5. I mean, he’s not really fighting for his job. He’ll be in CF if Alvarez is in LF, otherwise he’ll be in LF.
  6. I work part-time as a hospice chaplain. I would in no way be qualified to work as a school counselor. Dealing with grief and loss is not at all comparable to the comprehensive mental health and child development training necessary for that role. It’s nuts.
  7. He got plenty of at bats in AAA last year and sucked.
  8. Having a lively argument with yourself?
  9. Nobody forgets that. It’s why his WAR was so much higher before he transitioned to 1B. You can remove all his season from 2014 on and he still easily has more than Santiago.
  10. Could be worse - that's about what Stanton will make for those 3 seasons too.
  11. That would have been a better argument after 2021 than after the last 2 seasons. Reports of his decline seem to have been greatly exaggerated.
  12. The best and 3rd best seasons of his career by wRC+ is somehow “a couple seasons of declining production.” Never change.
  13. Everyone who follows this team even somewhat closely knows this. But leave it to that guy to try to somehow make this news all about him.
  14. No man is an island, but some live under a rock.
  15. I should have been more specific: he’s not an upgrade over any OF on the roster. I recall someone with a stupidly incorrect assessment recently that he was better than Meyers, for instance.
  16. That’s fair. I agree that it’s silly to get a lefty just because.
  17. Why? Is it just because he’s a lefty? He’s not an upgrade over anyone on the roster in terms of production.
  18. It turns 1 player into 2! Great deal.
  19. Pena put up 3.8 bWAR, 2.8 fWAR last season. 4 is basically considered All-Star level, so he’s already in that borderline category. That’s just not the perception because the 22 playoffs raised expectations unreasonably. Stop trying to make the team worse, Dusty.
  20. Well you have people arguing that a top 10 player at his position all time doesn’t belong while in the same breath thinking it’s a travesty that a pitcher who was less valuable than literally hundreds of others was omitted. I’m not sure anyone can claim to be particularly logical about this, writers or fans.
  21. Joe Mauer is the 7th ranked catcher in JAWS. He’s 9th all time in WAR. He absolutely should be in. Kendall isn’t even in the top 20 in either, for the record.
  22. RP is a separate position in the same way a PH is. Which is to say not at all.
  23. Vizquel would be the worst SS in the Hall by JAWS. He doesn’t belong. He’s not even the most deserving SS on the current ballot-that’s Jimmy Rollins, and he’s probably not ever getting in.
