    no horsefeathering way is martinez and mvp over trout, even though holy horsefeathers martinez is horsefeathering good. but im down with betts or ramirez. Yeah no way would I vote for JD, even though he's having a great offensive year, but I could get behind Betts or Ramirez. Especially if this Trout injury keeps him out or makes him bad the rest of the year. I just can't see giving the MVP to a DH only when there's plenty of good other candidates and that DH isn't on pace to set or get close to HR, BA, etc records. he's on pace for 150 RBI low leverage: 150 wRC+ medium leverage: 208 wRC+ high leverage: 272 wRC+ (.483/.590/.862) with men on base, he's hitting .347/.427/.698 nobody seems to understand how Boston's 50(!) games over, but i have a couple ideas

    Red Sox have 3 players who've been given 400 PA and have produced negative offensive value; almost 4 more (195 for Hanley) have been given 200 PA Boston as an offensive behemoth is largely JD & Mookie going completely ape horsefeathers, with added, far less significant contributions from Benintendi & Bogaerts and that's it

    it mostly boils down to whether you'd rather see a walk or an extra base hit with runners on base

    i think i'm totally on board with this, and i might go a step further to make it really scorching and say he might not be top-5 for me at the moment did you know: Trout has worst clutch score in baseball right now
  5. sneakypower
    he's just JJ Hardy, is that good or is that bad eh who knows & who cares
  6. sneakypower
    counterpoint: Hamels has 2.5 plus pitches and Lester, well, has none
  7. sneakypower
    f off, he's prime Evan Longoria until further notice
  8. sneakypower
    if you look closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks in two

    i don't really agree here, he's mostly hit a ton of solo HR but WAR just gonna assume he's actually produced a lot of runs with his .600 SLG which isn't the case and also the ball takes four seconds to get to first when he plays 3rd

    RBIs aren't dumb. Comparing players based on them is. I want my middle order hitters to rack up 120ish RBIs. I believe the whole "RBI's are dumb" is a mantra that's way overdone. Like virtually any other stat it just needs to be examined in the proper context. Looking at any stat in isolation is a recipe for mis-evaluation. he's been very good at driving in runners, fwiw

    this may be a really dumbass suggestion for many reasons, BUT if we internally, love Bote and think he's some safe bet to be 3+ WAR, Corey Koskie redux, what does Billy Eppler say if you offer him up Bryant, Happ/Almora, ++ for Trout? how much does he try to add on before you take pause? Think that already easily gets the deal done if Angels have any inclination to move him with KB's extra years of team control. But if you are making this deal because you see Bote as a solid to good starter. Thats not the deal you make. You trade Russell, Almora, Happ, and even add any 2 prospects the Angels want. Amaya, Azolay who cares. You go Bote to 2nd, Baez to SS and obviously Trout to CF so you dont need the CF platoon. That trade above has to get you extremely close to landing Trout. If they insist on Schwarber over Happ you move Happ to LF, Trout in CF. i can't ever see a Trout trade happening without an unquestioned superstar going back

    i mean, i don't know if we can (ever?) expect this to keep up but the narrative will certainly be in his favor; Bryzzo's been mostly useless and the whole rotation has been relative mediocrity yet we stand atop the Central - whom to credit? also i think Freeman's a non-factor in the voting; Eddie Murphy ass having season
  14. sneakypower
    what's great here is even in the sample you're excluding he still slugged .562 on a 42 HR, 137 RBI, 23 SB (10 UIBB) pace
  15. sneakypower
    the first one, though Zobrist does have an insane split at 2B (.331/.416/.522)

    a league MVP with the worst qualified walk rate would be really funny it also goes a little unnoticed, but having Baez available to play 20% of your SS innings like he has, instead of needing to roster Mike Freeman/Tyler Saladino types makes the team so much better
  18. sneakypower
    in the last calendar year Jose Ramirez has 99 XBH and 72 K, pushing 10 WAR so i'll say him similarly, in that span JD Martinez has 56 HR & 142 RBI
  19. sneakypower
    less than nothing

    Michigan blogger made a series of posts trying to forecast '22 roster, some humorous bits throughout https://mgoblog.com/content/usa-2022-attackers https://mgoblog.com/content/usa-2022-midfield https://mgoblog.com/content/usa-2022-defense-goalie-guess

    i don't hate #2, but #3 is funny "here's what i would do: nothing different!"
  24. sneakypower
    cool stat, Bryce Harper would not crack the top 9 hitters on our roster for fWAR rn
