Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I think you guys are overcompensating now in your hate for that article, and unfairly punishing Hosmer. lol
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Also, while we're laughing at Sayre's hamfisted attempt to explain away Davis' positional eligibility, I'd like to point out that #17 on his list does not have 1B eligibility, nor has he ever.
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Belt has a career .348 wOBA and hit 18 HR in 137 games last year. He's objectively better. Oh, why did he only play 132 games last year? Don't worry, probably an outlier. I'm sure he got more the year before that though, right?
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Sayre thought Navarro was a Jay?

I'm sure he got more the year before that though, right? K... and the year before that, he had a 140 wRC+ over 150 games. Something Hosmer has never done, or even close.
Cyborg Verified Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Guys, Rowdy Tellez > Chris Davis.

jays_fever Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 lol Evan Gattis has actually never played 1B in the past 2 years. He does qualify for OF though in every league
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 A-Rod too. It's just so obvious he forgot about Davis. I'd be embarassed too, but this is the wrong way to handle it. Just slot him in there around 6 or 7 and take your lumps like a man.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 lol Evan Gattis has actually never played 1B in the past 2 years. He does qualify for OF though in every league Which, according to Sayre, is vastly preferably to playing him at 1B anyway.

Cyborg Verified Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 He also completely missed Justin Smoak. Not on top 50 or the follow up rankings.
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 He also completely missed Justin Smoak. Not on top 50 or the follow up rankings. Hahaha! Good one!
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 lol at these nuthuggers who think this list is anything but complete trash. Did they even read it? Are they trying to get jobs at BP? I never paid attention to Gattis so I didn't know he didn't play 1B...I kind of figured a guy getting paid to rank first basemen would rank actual first basemen. That makes things even more hilarious.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 P.S. Can't believe you've never seen the Eagles live? Yeah man, really wish I had before Frey died. I've seen tons of classic rock acts. Stones, Neil, Dylan, Fleetwood, AC/DC, Rush (who I hate anyway), Elton John. I missed out on Bowie and Frey. Really wanna see McCartney at some point.
Cyborg Verified Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Hahaha! Good one! Same number of HR as number 6 on the list in less than half of the PA.
burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Lol sounds like Boxy's week is ruined by an internet list.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Same number of HR as number 6 on the list in less than half of the PA. He's better than Cron.

Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Some people are downvoting my comment where I say that it's not unreasonable to hold BP to a quality standard. Sheep are the worst. I bet those guys are awful at fantasy too, just doing whatever BP tells them.

Looks like most people agree with you here.

Sheep are the worst. I bet those guys are awful at fantasy too, just doing whatever BP tells them. It's probably the second sentence that has people downvoting. "this list is garbage, f*** BP, f*** Bret Sayre's hot fantasy takes, I am unsubscribing" is pretty hostile

Laika Community Moderator Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Currently brainstorming hard about how to incorporate Bret Sayre into my PL team name Sayre's Hot Takes is weak but good enough as an initial thought
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 havok is showing on line. If he don't pick imma slap dat boi upside him head
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Oop nvm that +5 is now +3. Truthers unite!
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Currently brainstorming hard about how to incorporate Bret Sayre into my PL team name Sayre's Hot Takes is weak but good enough as an initial thought Sayre You, Sayre Me Any time you can work Lionel Ritchie into a team name, you do it.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 lol a this getting downvoted So you're counting on a primary 1B to retain OF eligibility forever then? If you have a really good OF and not a good 1B, how would the joke be on you for using Davis there? Also, please tell me the dynasties where Greg Bird is drafted after Ortiz, Bell and Gattis. I want in. Where am I wrong? Not vanilla enough for these brainless BP sheep?
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Yeah man, really wish I had before Frey died. I've seen tons of classic rock acts. Stones, Neil, Dylan, Fleetwood, AC/DC, Rush (who I hate anyway), Elton John. I missed out on Bowie and Frey. Really wanna see McCartney at some point. I've seen everyone you've mentioned, but McCartney. I saw Elton John in Greece with my ex-wife at the Odeon, fantastic.
