Agreed with your assessment...I think I've changed my mind completely and I'm rolling with Cooper and Lockett but I'll probably change my mind...
Don’t see how you can make that statement considering even when he has played he hasn’t been as good as Bregman or Altuve and now Alvarez for that...
I need some advice guys on who to start this week - I'm in a 10 team league where we do the draft in person every year and we had to do this...
Did you really just use Griffey as an example of a long swing? Look how quick he is to the ball...
Yeah you’re correct, there were several though (I remember one was in Colorado) last year that looked like it may be a HR off the bat only to die...
It seems like he’a hit a bunch of those type of fly balls in his limited MLB experience. Always seems to hit it off the end of the bat or gets...
It’s how it happened that is inexcusable...0-2 count and he throws a belt high fastball? No way the ball should have been that hittable to that...
Depending on what team he goes to it could hurt really bad...
Everyone slumps...can't expect a 22 year old rookie to keep a 50 HR, 160 RBI pace while hitting .330+ as much as I would love to see that happen....

Unfortunately I agree with this and echoed the same thing...albeit I used softer words.
Bagwell wasn't much better...it's pretty amazing those two combined for only four homers in 70+ playoff games. I grew up and idolized both of them...
And a sweet .680 OPS over 40+ playoff games that never got us anywhere...
Why does it matter in the grand scheme of things? Does it matter for HOF voting and personal awards? Of course. And if that’s what you’re...
Yeah, literally the ONLY argument for Biggio is longevity and if you aren’t biased and you look into his career after the Astrodome he wasn’t that...
I'm fine with the idea of a formula approach and being non conventional and don't doubt there are some solid insights in their rankings but IMO...
Something tells me they won’t do it regardless - I think Hinch will point to Reddick’s defense and other ways he impacts the game than his bat. I...
