Around Baseball 2024

[connorp]

Vladdy 135 wRC+

Bo 135 wRC+

Springer 120 wRC+

Kirk 110 wRC+

 

Where is this team if that's what we get from that group of hitters, and those shouldn't be unrealistic expectations.

 

A lot of teams have 2024 Kirks. Showed some flashes of success and also some regression from that. A wildcard so to speak. Stop acting like it’s 1 in a million that’s he’s been a disappointment, especially since he’s literally one of the worst conditioned athletes in all of mlb baseball. Maybe he’ll get back up to that 100 wRC+ but stop acting like he was someone you were sure you can count on.

 

George Springer is closer to 35 than 34. This is exactly what the baseball nerds warn you about at any point when this time rolls around.

 

Vlad’s been subpar to his expectations for years.

 

Bo is all you got, and I’m sure he’ll be Bo again, but it’s a Bo that’s just on the other side of .800 OPS and maybe 12-15sb

 

No reverse lottery happened here. They doubled down when all the signs of trouble were there. It’s become clear to the majority of people not seeing through rose colored glasses. Even Laila has polished off his pitchfork.

He just hit his 11th - an absolute nuke. Hes going to get paid so much money.

 

Jays for half a billion, lol.

Well, it’s least it’s better than resorting to offensive personal attacks that chase off new posters. Meanwhile, the respectful guys like me get banned the first time they make some sort of harmless political harmless. Seem backwards? You’d think. Apparently not.

I always liked Gil since I saw his debut, or near debut, against the Jays. Stuff nasty, just needed to harness it. Looking like a great sleeper.

He had a monster day today even if against the White Sox

Jose Ramirez just homered on the 12th pitch of his AB against Ober. Already at 11 HR and 40 RBI.

Judge was off to a slow start but his wRC+ is up to 174. Soto's is 179.

 

Daunting left/right middle of the order for a pitcher to navigate.

 

And if you made a mistake to Stanton he can still hit it 120 MPH - 140 wRC+

 

The Yanks are crushing baseballs.

Stanton isn't having that bad of a season himself. Blue Jays could actually use a bat like him.

[Steeljays]

Otto Lopez playing well for marlins.

Kevin Pillar's been on a tear since joining the Angels! Still only 35 years old too. Nice to see him doing well.

[Olerud363]

He will be a Yankee. No doubt they will use the Jays to get the Yankees up to 600 million, but he will be a Yankee.

I've seen this act from him before... gets called up and goes on a hitting spree and turns into a potato soon after.

Javier Báez the most embarrassing contract in recent years? Dude can't hit a beachball.

Even with Judge's slow start (I heard he had a bad foot) the Yanks still got off to a great start thanks to Soto's torrid pace. With Cole due back likely sometime mid/late June they will be a team to be reckoned with. Not good news for the O's. Amazing what a team can accomplish when their best players actually play like their best players.

111 wRC+ Steamer projection for the rest of season.

 

Imagine keeping Craig's son over Otto

[Pendleton]

Soto with his 10th home run......Judge and Soto are carrying that team

 

Judge wRC+ 176

Soto wRC+ 164

......

Volpe 126

Verdugo 113

 

it's really just those 2

 

 

This is what we needed from Bo and Vlady

 

[Spanky__99]

 

Damn, lol.

[BTS]

 

If Cole comes back and everyone is healthy I hope it’s Stoman who loses his rotation spot. Because it would result in hilarity.

[Spanky__99]

Shoto Imanaga has video game numbers so far, holy s***.

It’s wild how Yamamoto hasn’t even been the best Asian pitcher signed this offseason

Has to be. That was a classic example of a team desperate to spend and did it on name value alone

Yoshi will be better in the long run cause of age, but damn, I knew he was having a great start, but it's arguably the best ever through 9 starts. Cool beans.

[glory]

 

They’ll get Cole and Dominguez back soon as well. That team looks dangerous.

And he throws like 92. It’s strange that seemingly the entire league misread how well he would translate to the bigs

One bad thing for NYY, I inherited Spencer Jones as one of my prospects in my fantasy league and thought I had a bad chipper on my hands. Starting to not look good. Have to know when to cash in on those guys

Well, that was supposed to be Judge, Jr coming up. Not looking like it now.
