  1. The best and 3rd best seasons of his career by wRC+ is somehow “a couple seasons of declining production.” Never change.
  2. Everyone who follows this team even somewhat closely knows this. But leave it to that guy to try to somehow make this news all about him.
  3. No man is an island, but some live under a rock.
  4. I should have been more specific: he’s not an upgrade over any OF on the roster. I recall someone with a stupidly incorrect assessment recently that he was better than Meyers, for instance.
  5. That’s fair. I agree that it’s silly to get a lefty just because.
  6. Why? Is it just because he’s a lefty? He’s not an upgrade over anyone on the roster in terms of production.
  7. It turns 1 player into 2! Great deal.
  8. Pena put up 3.8 bWAR, 2.8 fWAR last season. 4 is basically considered All-Star level, so he’s already in that borderline category. That’s just not the perception because the 22 playoffs raised expectations unreasonably. Stop trying to make the team worse, Dusty.
  9. Well you have people arguing that a top 10 player at his position all time doesn’t belong while in the same breath thinking it’s a travesty that a pitcher who was less valuable than literally hundreds of others was omitted. I’m not sure anyone can claim to be particularly logical about this, writers or fans.
  10. Joe Mauer is the 7th ranked catcher in JAWS. He’s 9th all time in WAR. He absolutely should be in. Kendall isn’t even in the top 20 in either, for the record.
  11. RP is a separate position in the same way a PH is. Which is to say not at all.
  12. Vizquel would be the worst SS in the Hall by JAWS. He doesn’t belong. He’s not even the most deserving SS on the current ballot-that’s Jimmy Rollins, and he’s probably not ever getting in.
  13. None of that has anything to do with whether or not Jankowski is better, though. He's not.
  14. Lower career wRC+, inferior defender, they both have between 3-4 career WAR on both baseball reference and fangraphs-except Meyers has done that in 3 seasons vs being up since 2015.
  15. Peña’s basically a league average hitter who is a plus defender. That’s fine as the worst spot in the lineup-it’s not even really a hole. (And he was still better than Dubon by wRC+. It’s amazing how narratives warp our expectations). Meyers is fine as a 4th OF. As long as he’s actually the 4th OF.
  16. Yeah it’s more the juiced baseball than anything for him, I think.
  17. Altuve is going to be resigned and Bregman (and later Tucker) are going to hit the market. Just prepare yourselves for it.
  18. Now being reported he is seeking 2 yr 22 mil range Also known as a million less than Montero will be paid over the next 2 seasons.
  19. No. Somebody just added up how much his total salary was and everyone else ran with it.
  20. I think Dubon hate is transference of Dusty hate for his misuse. He’s an asset as a utility player. But he should stay that instead of taking starts away in the OF. Hopefully that won’t be an issue anymore.
  21. I immediately thought of this classic from The Onion: https://www.theonion.com/i-think-im-going-about-this-cat-breeding-thing-all-wron-1819583446 But at least old Stan actually loved the cats.
  22. You forget about Bregman's salsa money.
