I just had this argument with someone else. Martin has almost the same WAR as Molina in like 500 less games. Molina will probably be a first ballot HOF’er. Martin is definitely a Hall of Famer in my eyes
Some guys are saying is it even a question but ya it is. I bet if you looked at posts from the offseason lots of posters were choosing Vlad. Myself included.
Vlad’s career year might’ve taken place in Dunedin and Buffalo
Exactly. He's doing the little things that at least give you some hope he can be one of the most unorthodox 2 WAR players in the game
I would take Joey Gallo on this team in a heartbeat even with all his flaws. I hate that type of player but any production the Jays can get from home grown talent is going to be needed soon.
If he’s going to play University you should think of the junior college route. If he can get into a good one in the Midwest (Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas) he could have a D1 chance. Obviously this is without knowing him but it’s better than accepting the first s***** four year that will take him. Two developmental years for Canadians is huge.
Based on sheer volume of players I would say no. But the top end is equal. Team AB can definitely hang with team ON on a given year.
BC, AB, ON and QB are perennial powerhouses. SK has had good showings at the Canada Cup recently.
Such a weird guy to evaluate. I’ve been a big Orelvis doubter but he’s
improved his plate discipline which gives me hope he can turn into a Joey Gallo type. Extreme outcomes on offense with good defence.
