Lind and the Leader Board

[Hawkguy]

Hi, I'm reductio ad absurdum poking holes in your argument.

Sorry, I didn't think I had to explain myself further.

 

Obviously I'd trade him for an overpayment. I'd trade any player in the league for an overpayment. I'd trade any NHL player for an overpayment (even Norris winner PK Subban).

 

However, the reality is, we wouldn't get an overpayment most likely. Hell, we probably wouldn't even get close to fair value for his current production. But Lind is a Mottola guy - he's not going to faulter any time soon. Murphy ruined him, Mottola remolded him.

 

No reason to trade him. None at all. I'd move Bautista before Lind without thinking twice.

 

 

Hey, my name is 'he was joking,' nice to meet you.

Hi, I know he was joking. Nice hat though!

Trading Lind would be one of the dumbest moves this team has ever made

 

You didn't qualify that at all. I LOVE Lind, probably more than is natural, but even I would move him for the right return.

[Caper]

When should Lind qualify?

[Hawkguy]

You didn't qualify that at all. I LOVE Lind, probably more than is natural, but even I would move him for the right return.

Like I said above, I'd move him for the right return too. An overpayment.

 

I was basing my post on reality that we probably wouldn't get good value. Maybe decent value at best.

 

When should Lind qualify?

I heard Monday.

[flafson]

Lind is on the board right now!!!

[Deadpool]

5th in the MLB in batting!

[G-Snarls]

Yep! There he is:

 

[Deadpool]

If you go AL only he's #2 in AVG, #4 in OBP, #5 in SLG, and #4 in OPS

[G-Snarls]

This list reminds me - how nice would Joe Mauer look at catcher?

 

Equally handsome. Better catching and OBP skills.

He certainly would have lovely hair...

[G-Snarls]

True:

 

[flafson]

We will probably need to trade half the team to get Mauer...

[Jimcanuck]

The club is .500 and on the move. Lind is a key piece and has several team friendly options. He's not going anywhere this year!

 

Bump

[Deadpool]

Bump

 

Because he still leads the team in AVG & OBP and is second in SLG and OPS?

Not for long bro, he's back to his old habits

[Deadpool]

Based on your keen observation skills? He'll be easily top 3-5 in those categories by the end of the year too...

[Jimcanuck]

he's not as patient and missing instead of fouling off good pitches

 

remember 2011.... same s*** about to happen

[KSaw]

Too soon to throw him under the bus. Pitchers adjusted and are throwing him more strikes. Lind in seeing more of them is probably focusing too much on trying to drive a strike with power. That's natural. Perhaps we've seen Lind tank so often that a little slump has people hitting the panic button?

LOL, no he won't.

Agree he's s*** now, nobody knows when he'll turn it around. God himself does not know. Could be 3 years from now.

[G-Snarls]

Lind bought out?

 

Re-signed?

 

Option purchased?

 

He doesn't make it easy...

[Deadpool]

LOL, no he won't.

 

Wanna bet that Lind isn't top 5 on the team in AVG, OBP, SLG and OPS by the end of the year? Because you'll lose that bet pretty handily.

It's a dogfight

 

Lind currently behind EE, Bats, Reyes, and Rasmus in all categories. Davis ahead in AVG. Lawrie gaining in SLG.

 

"Because you'll lose that bet pretty handily"

 

Lind sucks balls

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Looks like he's going to finish below a .800 OPS.. At the end of the day.. another average year. The options aren't that expensive... Indifferent to if they're picked up or not.

 

He should not be pencilled in anywhere higher than 6th in the lineup next year though.

Ah keep moving dem goal posts....You said top3-5 period, not just team. Being top 5 on this team is an accomplishment how? Is this how low standards have gotten here? Top 5 on this team in average and .obp is not much of an accomplishment. Also, right now it's hardly handily, look at the stats.

Lind is showing that he isn't a player every day but platoon guy. His approach is different but still a streaky hitter.

The other side of the coin is Rasmus. It's time to extend his contract, He's a stud

I google Adam Lind's name once in a while.... to get to his baseball reference page. Apparently there is a reality TV star by the same same.... has made for some confusing searches.

[Angrioter]

Adam Lind last 30 days

.191/.265/.337 (17/89), 2 dingers and 7 Rebeyes

[Arkadium]

Lind may just retake his title of whipping boy by end of the year... though don't know how anyone can even compete with JPA for that title
