Around Baseball 2024

[Jimcanuck]

My Top 4 would be Ruth, Bonds, Mays and Cobb.

 

Williams over Cobb, easily

[Terminator]

Williams over Cobb, easily

 

I don't hate it. Those WWII years took potentially 30 WAR away from Williams.

[jaysblue]

Darvish at least wasn't like Dice K, who came with way more hype IMO at the time.

 

I think Darvish could pitch until he's 40 or even a couple years more if he wanted to. Should easily reach 40 WAR.

Haha dumb f*** Os with your elite young SPs. Chris Bassitt will outlast them all

[Spanky__99]

So Bradish ends up with TJS after all, check another guy off who should've had it done back in ST.

[L54]

Send Kikuchi to Baltimore. Seriously

Cole next??

[Spanky__99]

Cole next??

 

Probably not since I traded him...

Orioles should have brought back Kyle Gibson haha.

Royce Lewis is playing with Little Leaguers

Both him and Buxton are insanely good, just made of glass. Twins could’ve been a powerhouse

Meh. Buxton was like a more talented version (more power) of Jackie Bradley Jr, outside of that ONE year where he put it all together. But he’d have spurts and then be garbage for way more than his spurts.

Buxton has had periods where he did what Royce is doing now

Yes. But very inconsistent. Obviously hitters are going to go hit and but Buxton usually always ends up below .300obp for a season. Sometimes hitting .210 and .220. Nothing like RL

You're completely whiffing on Jim's point, meat.

Until he throws out some names like Juan Soto, there’s no points.

That Buxton has hit as well as Lewis in small samples, and they both can't stay on the field? Stangstag's original point. Try and keep up.

Bro, 172 wRC+ first 337 PAs so far. He’s Trout/Judge for comparable hitting. Buxton only for injuries.

He's good c-poop, no one is denying that, he's done that combined over 3 seasons, lol... he's made of GLASS!!!

He should be your hero then. Like Mr. Glass from that Split movie

[Spanky__99]

Royce Lewis hits a HR already. Wonder how many games he’ll last

Jose Suarez was DFA'd by the Angels. He's sucked the past two years but his velo is up and he's only 26 with some control left.

 

I'd grab him and throw him in the bullpen. Maybe next year we can start him after we trade 4 of our starting pitchers like all of you want to do.

Yep, him and get Senzatela from the Rox. A fine 1-2 punch.

[MikeM3]

I'd pick up Connor Capel and dump KK

L54 is likely going to need some clarification from BTS if that’s fair game.

Easy ban

Easiest ban ever. Mods are spineless if they don’t

Spanky’s post that I replied to is objectively 10x more ban worthy. I’m just a joke maker. Not the trouble maker.

 

I think BTs can even appreciate my humor there. It’s also self deprecating humor, as that was the direct pretext to the fantasy league directors colluding together to put the screws to innocent me.
