Albert Almora is insanely good

[CubInOK]

Over/under 100 career WAR for Albert Almora?

Well it would be great if we found Mike Trout.

Trout can take over Szczur's role when he becomes a free agent.

UZR still doesn't love Almora's defense in CF...but it's still not a ton of innings.

 

2016 in 193.0 innings they had him at 0.7 UZR/150

2017 in 74 innings he's at -2.3

Then they put his total at 4.7 UZR/150 for the 267 innings...no clue how that works or if there's some sort of glitch.

 

He's got obscenely positive ratings in the corners

[sneakypower]

yeah i was a little surprised by that

 

DRS is an interesting story, too; he's a putrid 13/16 on "balls in zone" but has made 8 catches "out of zone" in just 74 innings which is an elite rate on par with Kiermaier, Cain, Enciarte who lead MLB for the position

these are based on like, one, positive event; those mean next to nothing

Enough of the Schwarber thread. This guy is slugging .196.

[Cubswin11]

He’s down to .196/.268/.196, .200 wOBA and 18 wRC+ with a 60% GB rate for the year.

I'm shooting for a 30-page gain in the next week.

[BigSlick]

Albert Almora is really really bad

 

He was bad last year and they kept fuckin hitting him lead off

[champaignchris]

Surely Ian Happ could be OPSing more than .480.

[Cubswin11]

He doesn’t make a cool diving catch once every 2 weeks that is largely needed because he’s so slow, though

[Regular Show]

Surely Ian Happ could be OPSing more than .480.

 

Ian Happ at AAA Iowa: .206/.296/.349 (.645 OPS)

 

That's in 63 ABs. Also, has a 7:24 BB/SO right now.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

If only there were an outfielder a year older than those two that was hitting .278/.418/.544 that we could have added a couple months ago.

Could've just signed Cain for a quarter of that and won the division by almost 10 games last season

[weis21]

or they could've signed adam jones for like a million bucks or a really big hug or whatever he ended up settling for this year

[17 Seconds]

adam jones sucks though. not as bad as those 2 idiots, but he still sucks.
