    you left out the funnest part: the paces for instance: his last 36 games, he has a 172 R, 46 2B, 77 HR, 190 RBI, 100 BB pace full season...147 R, 47 2B, 57 HR, 142 RBI, 101 BB pace

    lol top-10 in starter FIP right now (min. 30 IP)
  8. sneakypower
    well, to be fair, he does actually have the 3rd best FIP amongst our SP

    wow, i didn't expect such a quick response also, he gave Gallo's high-A translation: 233/340/519

    Are players who run hard all the time hurting the club? That's the necessary corollary to your statement. If they hurt themselves or burn out and can play 5-10 less games per year? Yes, especially when the replacement option is Darwin freaking Barney. This is an asinine argument to make. Castro running the bases hard every time or getting an extra base is such a minute part of his overall value to the team that anybody who really gives a damn about the team couldn't care less about how hard he runs down to first on a groundout. Criticizing him for not going first to third on a single is an entirely different point, but not running out a grounder is completely missing the point of having a reliable 160 game SS. I don't care about him not running out a ground ball back to the pitcher. I care about him loafing into second when he could have a triple with one out. Or failing to go first to third on a single. Or jogging out of the box when he thinks he's hit a home run (but hasn't). Or barely running when he's hit a popup behind third that could easily fall. Castro has done every single one of these things this year alone. even so, the best way we have of quantifying baserunning depicts him as an average baserunner on the year, so his lack of aggression you're describing might still be worth it for the outs he's avoided, to say nothing of injury avoidance

    the defensive difference hasn't exactly been monumental, either Valbuena as a Cub (12-14): 3B UZR/150: 19.1 Machado career (12-14): 3B UZR/150: 23.4 though it should be noted, DRS doesn't see them as being remotely comparable (+7 vs +42), so who knows

    Josh Hamilton and Bryce Harper immediately come to mind as examples of players directly injured from hustling Chris Snelling's entire (short-lived) career was maybe the best example of this

    just awful even if i'd seen all these guys play, i'd still probably defer to the industry consensus over what my own uninformed eyes told me...passing on a consensus top-3 player for a player who's not even agreed upon to be clearly top-10 would be understandably disappointing to people

    i really like this list
