2015 Trade Deadline Targets Thread.

Injury leg and he's done before 25 years old. unidimensional guy

 

You could say that about any athlete man...

Nah.

 

Pitchers can be productive after TJS and power hitters after brain surgery

[reedjohnsonfan]

Hamilton honestly reminds me of Pillar on roids. Worse hitter, better defender and base runner. If he could hit/had a decent OBP he would probably destroy the league. Already 44 SB and putting up 1.6 WAR on his defense/running alone. At 52 wRC+ that is amazing.

 

That is really crazy. He's a terrible hitter IMO but that speed makes him very valuable. Would be an ideal #9 hitter, if there is a such thing.

Exactly

 

Barry Bonds is the ideal #9 hitter

 

You just can't get 9 of him

Talking about #9 hitters, what about Mike Trout?

[jaysfan2014]

Brewers 'willing to trade' OF Carlos Gomez

 

Only if someone overpays. He's not a free agent until next year.

[G-Snarls]

He'd be OK too

1. Henderson

2. Dimmagio

3. Bonds

4. Ruth

5. Aaron

6. Williams

7. Griffey Jr

8. Gehrig

9. Trout

 

Bench: Musial, Cobb, Thomas (pinch hitter only), Mays (defensive replacement only)

One of these players don't belong with the others

Yes. It's Dimmagio with two ms. Especially in the two spot.

[Stangstag]

Brewers 'willing to trade' OF Carlos Gomez

 

Would be an amazing addition, but the cost would be way too high. Plus he's a huge douche

[Atothe]

Who is more overrated Griffey Jr or Jeter?

[KingKat]

Who is more overrated Griffey Jr or Jeter?

 

Is Griffey really overrated? He was pretty boss before injuries derailed him.

[Abomination]

Who is more overrated Griffey Jr or Jeter?

 

Griffey has 630 career home runs, just shy of 3k career hits, was a great defender up until the last few years of his career, and put up 77.7 WAR. I'm not sure how he could be significantly overrated.

 

I don't think Jeter deserves most of the crap he gets around here either. He shouldn't have won some of the GG he did, and he should have been moved off SS a number of years ago. I'm not sure you can blame him for either of those things though.

[mellowgold]

Jeter, easily. Griffey was amazing his first few years in Seattle.

[reedjohnsonfan]

Exactly

Of course, but you know what I meant... Not good enough to hit lead off over Reyes and they wouldn't put him in an RBI spot. To be honest I really dislike Billy Hamilton lol.

[G-Snarls]

I know

 

He's just my favorite. LOL.

Didn't Griffey take the least amount of ABs to reach 500 HRs of any player? I don't see how he's overrated. He was a great hitter who ran into injury problems.

 

Agree completely on Jeter. The guy is an automatic hall of famer. Defensive metrics don't like him but so what? He was a great hitter playing SS and also was a true leader of the Yanks.

[G-Snarls]

Of course, but you know what I meant... Not good enough to hit lead off over Reyes and they wouldn't put him in an RBI spot. To be honest I really dislike Billy Hamilton lol.

 

I know exactly what you meant, was just being silly. I thought Gose was going to become a "good number 9 hitter" too. He hasn't yet.

[G-Snarls]

Jeter, easily. Griffey was amazing his first few years in Seattle.

 

Also there's a *slight* problem that my lineup is pretty much all outfielders. That team could use Jeter. At 2B. LOL

It could be worse, they could be the Mariners. You know, a team full of 1st baseman and DH's.

Overrated. He was not Bonds level.

The #Reds have not packaged Cueto and Chapman in any proposals so far, preferring separate deals, if they do decide to move their closer.

[Laika]

Overrated. He was not Bonds level.

 

Nobody thinks he was. In his prime though, he wasn't much different than Mike Trout. Definitely not overrated...

[TilsonBritoFan]

This is perhaps the dumbest question ever asked.

 

Griffey was one of the greatest ever.

U trolling us, bro?

Nobody said he wasn't great but he doesn't belong with those other names.

Bonds is the greatest ever, Griffey jr doesn't hold a candle to him
