Question Time

[admin]

Gonna start banning this Cubs circle jerk.

[Frag]

AL Central:

 

Royals: Lorenzo Cain

Tigers: Miguel Cabrera

Twins: Miguel Sano

Indians: Corey Kluber (a toss-up between him, Carrasco, and Lindor)

White Sox: Chris Sale

 

Having both Sano and Cabrera would likely force the team to trade EE (if the team wants to keep EE, then I guess Dozier from the Twins). The Indians have 3 players I could choose from and have no issue with. Sale is obvious.

[intentional wok]

f*** I hate the Twins. They're like flat soda.

[Jonn]

I can't wait for the Cubs to never win a world series during this era.

Projection for Votto seems really low

Projection for Votto seems really low

 

Well, no. his 1.0 WAR year is still heavily weighted and his 7 WAR year is regressed to the mean. It's reasonable.

[The Cats Ass]

So what I get from this is that the Cubs are pretty good.

[Angrioter]

Cubs: Rizzo

Cardinals: Wainwright

Pirates: Harrison?

Brewers: Braun

Reds: Votto

 

Drug abuse is harmful to health.

He was hurt that season. 5 out of the last 6 years he had more than 5.7 WAR, I'll take the over.

I think it's reasonable to discount a projection based on injury

 

also guys don't get projected over 5.7 or whatever very often because projection systems are conservative and regress to the mean

 

also your racist still

[Frag]

Plus, he's 32. Have to factor that in.
