That team won right after they got rid of some of the malcontents (AGon who complained about playing late before travel days). I'm not worried about the video games. Every MLB guy is a gamer and they talk about it on the broadcast. Giolito famously gets ready for his starts by playing MLB the Show. I can only imagine what the Globe would have said about that back then...
notin has the true poster's spirit. Once he starts typing, he has to hit "submit reply" no matter how it comes out. Sometimes I even decide a post isn't worth it and I've been putting up the most numbers every quarter or whatever. 🫠
You know the Hound ain't swingin' left handed with that mug of his.
Not sure he's a good clubhouse guy though and probably bad with the media.
"Bugger this, bugger that, bugger you."
Internal metrics probably grade Tyene Sand really high TBH.
He won two NPB awards for his defense at 3b and one for 1b. If the Sox target an NPB guy, they should go for him because of his approach at the plate and ability to field a position.
IDK. He's got quite the injury transaction listing. He was a 4 fWAR guy at 150 IP and that's where he peaked. That's Duran every year. Seems like a lot to give up for a guy who misses a ton of time. I'd rather find pitchers that have a better track record.
That used car might look really good in the listing, but the oil stains on the driving should make you think twice.
29 DRS at 3B? His previous high was 5. wRC+ was under 120.
That WAR was massively inflated TBH. He was never an outstanding defensive player and then became the third best defender in MLB?
I'm sure they were REALLY struggling after one year of COVID. They were barely a going concern before COVID and then BAM! Wow, unbelievable that they were able to get through that. 🤏🎻
I think signing extensions is a lot different than luring prospective FA's. What are the prominent offensive FAs that SEA has brought in since moving ballparks 25 years ago?
Ichiro (does he really count?)
Adrian Beltre
Nelson Cruz
Cano
Richie Sexson
Anyone else?
