[A New Era]

that is not how MLEs work.

 

Bryant will make them work that way.

what's bryant's MLE?

 

There is none. Wait until Bryant is elected into the HOF while still playing and HE will then become the guy who kids want to model their game after.

 

Ummm... I don't think you understood Truffle's question.

 

No I get it. I meant everyone will want to be Bryant's to be THEIR Major League Equivalent. They will completely change their stance, and if they are 6'2" they will tense up and strain until they pop 3" in height. And will get contacts to achieve his beautiful blue eyed gaze.

I really don't get where his power comes from. He looks like a gangly kid.

He is, but when you're that tall there's just so much torque going on (Richie Sexson).

what's bryant's MLE?

 

 

something between Gilgamesh and Beowulf.

[TruffleShuffle]

btw wasn't the rumor that the cubs had appel at 1 and bryant at 2 on their board? if so, thank you thank you thank you astros.

Baez is fun to watch and all, but Bryant's swing is just so much prettier and less terrifying.

[Guest]

Prettier? [expletive] no.

 

Bryant is all herky jerky and lanky and weird. Baez is god like.

[Sammy Sofa]

Prettier to me; Baez is crazy violent.

[abuck1220]

yeah, i can't figure out how so much power comes from bryant just based on his stance. he just doesn't look right.

[Sammy Sofa]

Clearly his weird ass eyes indicate that he's some kind of sorcerer.

Yep.

YES.

Here you go, Truffle:

 

@DSzymborski: Bryant ZiPS translation: 266/353/515. That's not a *projection* going forward, but he's been legitimately amazing.

[Guest]

That's about a 5 fWAR line with slightly below average 3B defense.

[imb]

Jesus, that just shows you how good major league pitchers are

wow, i didn't expect such a quick response

 

also, he gave Gallo's high-A translation: 233/340/519

Is Gallo as amazing as his stats indicate or is he in an extreme hitters league or something? Before this year, he ass-blasted the rookie league twice and was just regular awesome in his other 2 stops.

 

EDIT: And as for Bryant...replace Olt or Scheirholtz's AB's with that, and you're already a long way towards a vastly improved team. He makes me so happy.

I want to say Mcleod even admitted that. The Astros completely saved our rebuild.

I don't even want to think about how depressing this season would be.

[Clem Fandango]

An Astros lineup with Singleton, Carter, Springer, and Bryant would hit a [expletive] load of home runs... and strike out probably three times as much

[Guest]

Jesus, that just shows you how good major league pitchers are

 

i wasn't even expecting the MLE to look *quite* that good, tbh. AA numbers almost never seem to translate to anything all that impressive in those things. to me it just shows how amazing Bryant has been.
