Yankees Paranoid About "The Man In White"
z3r0s replied to Statman's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
That's what I don't get. The guy is hitting .216/.277/.328 with 3 HR's. That is just putrid with traditional stats. Russ has an OBP equal to Navarro's SLG. -
Looking to turn Trea Turner into an asset at a position of need. I'm pretty full at MIF with Dee, Kang, and Russell. I'm in need at SP and 1B. Trea's bat should play very nicely at SS and he'll likely have a spot next year. Let me know!
-
I second this!
-
I always figured I was the worst trading partner in the league... except when it comes to dealing with Dinger lol
-
It probably should, but that's clearly not how some people see it.
-
But this is not what I was saying, therefore its a strawman argument. My argument was that who the MVP is depends entirely on what your definition of 'valuable' is. My point is that you can't make a comment about the 'bad logic' of someone's choice for MVP unless you know what the definition of 'valuable' is in that logical equation. What you are arguing with people about is their definitions, not their logic. I agree with your definition of 'valuable' in this case, but the poster in question may not have a faulty line of reasoning if their definition of 'valuable' is sufficiently different from yours. How good the various definition of 'valuable' are is a whole other (and much more difficult) logical argument.
-
Boxy present my argument as being a much weaker argument that is easier to discredit. A strawman argument. Its a logical fallacy.
-
Another point, as a fan of the discipline of logic, I get really annoyed when people try to use the term 'bad logic' in a situation like this. It can only be described as 'bad logic' if everyone agrees what the term MVP is referring too. Its IS bad logic, if the MVP means the 'best player'. If it doesn't, it might not be. Which was the point of my post in the first place.
-
Strawman much?
-
I'm honestly getting quite tired of these MVP arguments. Valuable is a word that can be applied too broadly. I tend to think of it as the best performance over the course of the year. A player that contributes to the most wins for his team. But I also can appreciate that its not 'bad logic' to use other perfectly valid applications of the word 'valuable' when looking at the award. Sorry Boxy, but the logic isn't bad, the language is not very specific. I would vote for Trout, but I'm honestly over getting mad if he doesn't.

Nice easy win for your new acquisition Dinger!
-
Me and the family picked up some tickets way early in the year for when we head to Hamilton to visit in September. Yankees Jays, week of Sept 21. Glad I got them early
-
I think McKenry will be decent if he gets real PT
-
In his defense, he's walked 11 in his last 7 starts, while striking out 30. Guy has been hot and he's banking on him keeping it rolling.
-
Ouch, Koji out for the year... Dinger, you in the K-Rod sweeps now
-
Nobody knock what Dinger and I have going here. He keeps winning, I keep adding guys like Dee, Yordano, Giolito, Kang, and Shaffer.
-
I'm interesting in who you are talking about. shoot me a PM if something makes sense (I'll look too)
-
Fielding offers on Schoop. He's an interesting guy with real pop for a 2b. I've got a bit of a glut of 2B/SS/3B options so I'm not sure I can carry him. Would be looking for a SP with a similar profile (guy with upside, but warts). Similarly want to shop Michael Taylor to someone who wants to shoot for upside (SB and HR)
-
At least Goins is damn fine to watch in the field. That's really too bad though.
-
seems to be my move... I just need to somehow transition that to actually winning lol
-
Should have anted up boi! I do feel bad about that, but sometimes you just have to jump at an offer you like.
-
I was about to say, half of those guys were traded to me, and I've been in the basement each season... so good job probably
-
confirmed
-
I'm working on deals for K-Rod and Dickey. If you want to get in on the discussion do so! I'm mostly seeking pitching that can help me next year, but will always consider bat/prospect upgrades. Also looking to move for small returns; Joe Mauer Ike Davis Delino DeShields
