Tucker is banking on one good season. Alvarez has a higher ceiling and is much more disciplined at the plate 

Yep.

Love King Tuck but the answer is definitely Alvarez. Yordan is always must see TV when he's at bat.

Combine how good he is with how large he is and he's got to be in the top 3 or 5 most intimidating guys in the league when standing in a batters box for most pitchers.

Alvarez leads in OPS+ 153 to 130

Tucker leads in War 9.2 to 8.2

Almost identical number of ABs

[tx 3 putt 76314]

Both are great young talents.

we should send the dodgers a muffin basket 

[Scraps 13540]

Yordan and for me it really isn't close. He is like Brantley with power.

[UTexasFight 9376]

Each 2.5 years/ $50M

 

they can take off Apr-Jun off the third year and show up at the all star break

Does Javier count if I don't like him as a starter because he is a great multi inning reliever?

Yeah, that poll is tasty.

i think I lean Tucker just because of the tools/less of a potential liability in the field/ Yordan seems more of a risk to fall victim to the “olds”, but those are all concerns for circa 2029-2031.

If the 5 years in question are ~2024-2028, woof. That’s hard 

 

I respectively request a re-count/recast vote to Yordan

 

 

was thinking on this some more earlier with us playing the Red Sox… and looking at their World Series rosters. Yordan = Ortiz. Tucker closest thing I find was career year Damon. Tucker obviously more power,  less speed. Damon incredible career numbers  

but you gotta take Ortiz ….I think 

 

 

 

edit:  give me tucker….at least until Yordan comes up again

[WBT 20415]

It's not back to back to back but this has to feel familiar to Eovaldi.

Also, I'm not sure Pena is ready to come back.

[tx 3 putt 76314]

What a start !!!!

[rvm96 1643]

3 HR inning!!!!!

[UTexasFight 9376]
