More so than Cobb?
-
The pre-modern baseball player numbers are super wacky and I don't think they are comparable to today's player. I think putting a demarcation line at 1940 for baseball makes sense. I just don't buy that Honus Wagner would be an MLB All Star in 2022.
-
I'm launching Cobb, Speaker, Hornsby and Wagner into the sun.
-
Breaking news: Kiké is not Yaz's triple crown season, or Hall of Famer David Ortiz (happy 9th anniversary to sending Hunter into the bullpen BTW), or a stolen base that helped lead the Sox to their first WS win in 86 years!
-
If he's highly sought after, he's traded.
-
You even said yourself that what went on was because of injuries and underperformance so the team must not have been THAT bad. Sounds like you shouldn't even be too mad at Bloom!
-
Ricky was the greatest. MVP is the greatest poster.
-
How is it a company line? It's reality. Go look at the standings. Were you this upset at the 1987 Red Sox who had the same exact record?
-
Did JBJ's defense outweigh his poor offense every year? I vaguely remember trade JBJ threads popping up annually around these parts.
-
They had 78 wins. They were a below average but not miserable team. If they were in the AL West or Central, they would have been in 3rd place.
-
I think Rafaela has a good chance of being dealt. While he's a great fielder, his batting eye is atrocious. If he was called up to the MLB club in September, he would have had a 40% k rate.
-
Get a starting rotation that is more likely to stay healthy. Get a bullpen that isn't a complete trainwreck. Re-sign Bogey. Find a RFer.
-
That's why they need to evaluate which prospects they can deal and which ones they can keep (a la Devers vs Moncada vs Kopech).
-
And what did the Mets really have to show for it? Nothing! Just another embarrassing postseason meltdown.
-
Vanity doesn't suit MVP.
-
So if they get healthy and perform to their normal level, they'll be a much better team next year? All this talk about being in last DAMN place is overblown then?
-
Caleb Hamilton isn't good enough for you?
-
Henry has enough money to afford a $500M payroll!
-
Why are we replacing 2020 JBJ? He had a career high wRC+ because it was a SSS. Why did you specifically select that year? Just because it was a high point for him? Same with JD and Nate? You pick their best seasons and say "go replace those best seasons." LOL. Instead of replacing the overall player, go replace the best version of that player and do it under the luxury tax because we have to reset this season apparently!
-
His contract is so small that it doesn't really matter either way.
-
We all know this. You don't have to reiterate it everyday like it's some big reveal at the end of an Agatha Christie novel. We know.
-
I can't believe Larry Lucchino let it get that bad...
-
I think if they went "all in NOW" but via cashing in their farm pipeline, it could supplement the high cost of a Devers and Bogey contracts. Lots of $$$ is coming off the books that can be spread to those guys. JD, JBJ, Vaz and Eovaldi can all be replaced at a cheaper rate.
-
Yes, they've stated as much on previous podcasts. I've posted this the past few weeks when it has come up.
-
Why no Story? They went over the cap this year. They could have extended Bogey and still signed Story.
