As we have seen though, a player's perceived talent during their career is sometimes a deciding factor. The reputation of their unique talent level, in other words. Votto has that going for him. He has a solid reputation as being the most disciplined hitter, having the best batting eye in all of baseball, for about a decade. His personal reputation could help or harm him. People seem to like his personality but he has also been a bit of a dick historically. He's popular as hell on social media but who knows what the older writers think of him. We do know that lots of older writers probably think he is terribly overrated - not enough produkshun, not enough team success.

I guess he's a coin flip hall of famer at the moment, if he retires right now. Maybe a bit less then a coin flip. He will not end up with gaudy counting stats. He has one MVP but probably doesn't have a big hardware boost. No championships or playoff glory. His case will be very WAR dependent. His consistency and longevity will help. AVG will help and his historic OBP should help a decent amount. One more elite season would cement his case.

you stupid unicycle. get spoked

it's haram after all

He is extremely solid at the pitching. The D-Bags are only paying him 2M this year and 3M next year. He's already up over 1.3 WAR.

did Buck just say "mano romano"?

Holy f***, you stooge. You absolute stooge you. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/06/frankie-montas-gets-80-game-suspension.html

heavy breathing and eating noises

#LeaveKawhiAlone is trending on Twitter now, after BlogTO and other shits gave him the TMZ treatment yesterday in Toronto.

The pitching leaderboard is extremely dumb. Lance Lynn Matt Boyd Frankie Montas Hyun-Jin Ryu Lucas Giolito Mike Minor Jake Odorizzi These guys are all top 12 in fWAR. Imagine if that was your fantasy rotation a year or two ago - the outlook would have been not good.

They shed his salary, so eat s*** you dork.

I think it's the same name as his f***ing 8 foot grandfather or great grandfather, the Dinka tribe chief who started the Bol rolling

Might have the worst mechanics in baseball. I predict TJS within 16 months.

Biggio should hit 1st Vlad 2nd If Bo is the team's third best hitter then he should not hit third. Really you would Bo, Biggio, and Vlad 1, 2, and 4 if they are the three best

Of course. But the Trop is also dumpy for different reasons.

Is the O even worse than the Trop?

Grant was right and would have been proven right but who could have predicted that a fingernail would ruin Sanchez' career and therefore Grant's predictions?? A real shame. You hate to see it.

Astudillllllloooooooo Toronto should trade for la tortuga

speaking of Robles, Victor Robles kind of sucks. I wonder if he will do the Byron Buxton

holy crap f***! sports!!!!

How many times is TCA going to offer me Nomar f***ing Mazara for Rendon?

My fine friend as a complete and utter rebuttal let me copy and paste what I previously wrote into this website but fivefold It's difficult to think of realistic trade scenarios. You have to really bend over backwards to consider things from the other team's perspective. Derek Fisher was a top 100 prospect a couple of seasons ago for Houston, and an easy/consensus top 10 prospect for them for a couple of years. He hasn't really had that much playing time to fail in the majors because they are so deep. His value is objectively down but I doubt Houston thinks he has negligible value and I doubt they would internally characterize him as a replacement level player. He does not project to be replacement level, for one thing. Fisher objectively does have upside. When Houston acquired Liriano there is a chance their analytics department thought he would be a legitimate weapon out of the pen on their playoff run. The hypothetical negotiation is something like - "we'll agree to Fisher as an adequate secondary piece if you give us our guy as the centrepiece" TL;DR if Houston is in the trade market they are hoping to extract value from Derek Fisher so he is worth examining FWIW Fisher has played at a 20/20 pace during his s***** MLB sample size and has been a positive baserunner and +10 defender. There is legit breakout potential with him. It's difficult to think of realistic trade scenarios. You have to really bend over backwards to consider things from the other team's perspective.

He might suck but he's more like Jake Marisnick (maybe without CF instincts) than Drury or McKinney. I've seen 60 and 70 scouting grades on the power and speed. Even if the swing and miss prevents him from being a starter there are bench skills there, unlike Drury and McKinney where the peripheral skills don't really exist so if they aren't hitting they aren't big leaguers. He would have to be the third piece or secondary piece in a Stroman deal an all likelihood.

I have a list
