Baseball subreddit is also s***. I got downvoted in an MVP discussion a lot because I suggested that people who were suggesting Ortiz were forgetting that the other 3 MVP candidates all can will a GG this season while Ortiz is a full time DH with stats that are slightly better than the other 3 offensively. The highest voted response to me was? I apperently forgot to take in the emotional value of Ortiz winning the MVP in his last season and that should play a big part in deciding who wins.
Reddit is great because you can unsubscribe from s***** subreddit and subscribe to only ones you like
That's just defense in general though right? Is there a star that tracks how good a route a player takes to a ball? Like maybe average shortest distance taken to record a putout or something? But even then you have to take park factors into account.
Actually it was implied he wasn't an everyday player not a 4th OFer. Which makes sense, they may platoon him to start it off, I don't think they want EE to play everyday at 1B yet for conditioning reasons
You know what I mean!!!
Also I'm watching the Atkins conference and man this guy is growing fast with the way he handles the media. Straight to the point and when he's going to beat around the bush he says he's gonna beat around the bush. He has jokes and doesn't entertain media bs where the same question he doesn't answer gets aske again, he cut down Davidi's question about the money compensation after it was the 3rd time they asked about it pretty quickly
Can you guys stop talking about Pompey like he's some next big thing? Stop suggesting we trade Pillar and relying on Pompey, unless we're rebuilding. Other than that it would be a step down. He's the 2nd best defensive CF in the AL behind Kiremire and even that can be debated in Pillar's case. Those types of players aren't easy to find
I usually don't care about how many threads are made about something but this is interesting, it's been discussed in:
- Jays general thread
- Jays front runners for Upton
- Jays acquire Upton
- What's your thoughts about Jays acquiring Upton
They're probably not. I've been telling people expect us taking on players who are overpaid with little price cut, we have no prospect capital so we have to compensate somewhere
