Why is everyone on LeMahieu's nuts and not Semien?
Semien has out WAR'd him 2 out of the 3 past seasons (the only one he didn't was in the shortened 60 game season), plays a more premium position, is 2 years younger, has a higher career wRC+ and has no qualifying offer attached to him. Plus, Semien has a pretty easy to spell name and LeMahieu has some French name that is f***ed.
I guess LeMahieu has better exit velocity and Semien's kind of sucks but Semien has a more ideal launch angle and LeMehieu is in Eric Hosmer/Vlad Guerrero territory.
From what I gather, Semien costs probably half the money that LeMahieu does and if that's the case, Semien would be a no-brainer.
