i 100% want this

i think Happ has to be viewed similarly to a top-10 hitting prospect, at the very least he's not yet 24 but totaled roughly a full-season worth of AB, and with that has 100 R, 35 HR, 94 RBI, 12 SB & .255/.350/.490 (3.3 WAR) as a switch-hitter and is average or better at 4-5 positions he's played who in the minors honestly profiles better than an established ~850 OPS middle of the diamond defender? yeah i'll take Soto, Acuna, Baby Vlad, but are you really going to bet on Bo Bichette/Eloy/Adames to blow that out of the water? Happ's a headliner probably on par with what any other team will reasonably offer imo edit: lol n/m somebody made this exact point i see now
-
this was more of a hot take a week ago, but i think he's the rightful 1st half MVP and it's somewhat crazy to consider especially in today's game when he has just single-digit unintentional BBs
-
Tied after today in fWAR. And I still think Javy isn't valued properly defensively because of his Javy Tags and other ridiculous plays like the Puig DP the other day. Yeah, I don't understand why he doesn't accrue more value on defense. He definitely passes the eye test and most baseball scouts/execs believe he's excellent defensively. I really think the gulf between Russell and Baez on defense is overstated and not that large. he probably deserves a few runs that are credited to Contreras for CS (and possibly Schwarber's OF assists? do IF get any credit for relay throws there?) haha yeah this was such a treat, Rod Allen spends the whole AB saying "i'd be careful about throwing over to first here" and waxes poetic about Javy's baserunning and the time he stole home on Matz, talking about nothing else but warning against a steal of home and then Baez promptly does just that and Allen goes silent for a brief moment as if he were throwing up his hands
-
where would Bote place on these lists?
-
there were quotes after the draft that the FO didn't just want to draft A[l]mora, they "wanted to adopt him" or something or other, makes it hard to believe they'd find common ground with another org. on his true value
-
It has to be either Babe Aguilar or Babe Muncy, right? correct; more HR than Harper, too Indians DFA'd him and gave Edwin Encarnacion $65M (possibly in reverse order), to be barely replacement level this year- and they're a very smart team! Stearns seems like he might be one of the best in the game
-
can anyone guess the current NL leader in SLG hint
-
one more minor point: Almora has slightly better sprint speed than Happ Does he? this year he supposedly does; looks more like Happ slowed down a bit for whatever reason -
unrelated but since i'm looking at CF def stats CHARLIE BLACKMON IS -21 DRS AND IT'S STILL PRE-ASB
-
one more minor point: Almora has slightly better sprint speed than Happ
-
UZR is the outlier, DRS & statcast rate him as great this year which matches the eye test UZR is too black box for me to opine real well why he's just +1 in their system but the others paint the picture he's been decent on balls in his zone and has made quite a bit more plays in the gaps than the average CF, so i'm not sure that his top-end speed holds him back or is lacking; if anything he's not super quick or bursty i feel confident stating he's a very good fielder though
-
Why? Until his BABIP regresses to the mean, keep him out there. You know when I play blackjack and double down and win I just keep doubling down every hand after until I bust very true if he goes 0-4 today then we forfeit the season

current team leader in fWAR higher ISO & SLG than Aaron Judge
-
that Neymar flop is so brutally embarrassing
-
do you mean the guy who knocked it out of the park last couple offseasons doing just that, "sign(ing) 2-3 winning players"
-
He’s literally driven in more runs than anyone in the National League. this is a pretty weak take; he's seen 4th-most baserunners in the league and has 84 wRC+ split to show for it
-
he came up young, but he slashed .239/.298/.346 in first 180 G to start his career; .313/.377/.590 in the last 2 years can we hire away their hitting coach
-
yeah it's Ugly Jose, i knew he was *good* but seeing his production for like the last year + completely knocked my socks off at AA, he hit 3 HR in 113 G Lindor hit 7 in 109 G they've each hit 36 in the last year
-
also i should specify hitter WAR, otherwise Sale is tops
-
i wonder how many people could guess baseball's leader in WAR during the last calendar year, within maybe 5 tries hint:
-
i was always the biggest Javy backer and i have the custom title to prove it
