It seems like whatever dude the Brewers grab off the street to play middle infield for them on a given week ends up with a 1.500 OPS and multiple game-winning HRs, so sure, let them give up their best prospects for Machado. I don’t see how it could make them better.
this must be what it's like to be a fan of another team and read "bryan lahair, 2012 all star" cuz who the horsefeathers is george sherrill? he's one of those randos I actually remember. he had a ridiculous amount of saves in the first half even though he sucked I recall the Cubs trying to trade for him or people wanting to trade for him or something.
Slow down there. Many of the All-Star games in the 50’s had an NL outfield of Mays, Aaron, and Musial. I don't care enough to dig into it, but I imagine the seasons Trout, Betts, and Judge are having would be tough to match, even for those 3.
That NL outfield...woof. I mean Harper is awesome but has had a horrible first half. And then a couple of old turds who've had a hot stretch. It's especially glaring when compared to Trout, Betts, and Judge, which is maybe the best outfield of all time.
Add on a throwing error. Best game ever. I'll bet you he's teaching Beating the horsefeathers Out of Coolers 101 tonight. They named him player of the game for going 1-4 (single and 2 k’s) with 2 errors (they were ruled hits but were both errors). It was a very Indianapolis thing to do.
That reminds me. I need to go down for an Indians game. I haven't been checking out the minors much this year so is there any really good prospects in that International League? I don’t really follow it, but Francisco Mejia with Columbus (Cleveland’s AAA) who Indianapolis played tonight was ranked #5 by BP preseason.
Sean Rodriguez is playing 3B for the Indy Indians tonight and so far has struck out on 3 pitches and had a soft line drive bounce off his glove and I am having a lot of fun laughing very loudly at him.
So there’s a pretty good shot they top that at C, 2B, and SS this year. I thought Almora was going to be on pace to be close, but either his defensive value has gone way down or I’m misremembering where he was at the last time I looked it up.
