Jack Brad the defensive gawd

Such a dramatic departure from the outfield defense of Hanley Ramirez

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

[Frozenprince]

Granderson is having the quietest 6+ WAR season I think in history.

 

[Doogdogg]

Bradley is something else.

[Frozenprince]

Bradley is something else.

If the bat is for real. Good god. Talk about a special player.

Kevin Long fixed him once again.

 

[Frozenprince]

Kevin Long fixed him once again.

He was this good after the ASB last year too.

 

[Doogdogg]

If the bat is for real. Good god. Talk about a special player.

if he hits .250 and draw good ammount of walks, his defense, and 10-15HR, that's a 4WAR player+

 

[Frozenprince]

Shoeless Joe will be let back into baseball tomorrow.

 

[zroid]

why doncha get on base with fewer than 2 outs guys

 

[Frozenprince]

if he hits .250 and draw good ammount of walks, his defense, and 10-15HR, that's a 4WAR player+

If he's this good defensively and hits that he's a 6+ WAR player. His defense is worth 4 by itself.

might need a Granderson jersey for the playoffs man

Seriously though gonna wear my Captain jersey. Always gotta rock #5.

[Frozenprince]

Because Trout is just as good if not better in most things?

Trout's just been slumping since he fucked up his wrist. Donaldson has been having a great year, but Trout's has been better.

 

[Malo]

He was this good after the ASB last year too.

I think you meant in the first half, he was bad after the ASB last year: .639 ops, wRC+ 87.

 

[rinse82]

lol Buck does it again. Watch the outfielders you idiot

 

[CygnusXS]

Jonny Gomes just got sent to the Royals. Lucky him.

 

[Doogdogg]

Ortiz is 5 away from 500

Could happen this homestand. Would be better to get it at home. What a career for him.

 

[zroid]

Jonny Gomes just got sent to the Royals. Lucky him.

They must have been impressed with his xFIP

 

[Frozenprince]

I think you meant in the first half, he was bad after the ASB last year: .639 ops, wRC+ 87.

Well the last month really then. Finished the year great, 160 wRC+ in Sept.

They must have been impressed with his xFIP

That was the best quote.

 

[Sanjuro]

Could happen this homestand. Would be better to get it at home. What a career for him.

I'm more excited for 501!

Possibly going to a couple games this weekend.

 

[Loco4Coco]

I'm worried the Mets have begun to rely on the HRs too much as of late.

 

[darkside31337]

Rays just signed Jose Constanza to a minor league deal. yesssssssssss

 

[Parch]

lol Buck does it again. Watch the outfielders you idiot

He's just a tease, adding a little fake excitement.

 

[jello44]

Keuchel gave up a home run to Trumbo.

It was the first home run hit off of him at MMP this season.

 

[Samyy]

The curator of the Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum said Major League Baseball has responded to her effort to gain reinstatement for the banned Greenville native, and she will make an announcement on the museum’s Facebook page Tuesday morning.

MLB spokesman Mike Teevan confirmed in an email that commissioner Rob Manfred had communicated with Arlene Marcley, but “we do not have plans for any formal announcement.”
Manfred took office on Jan. 25. A new commissioner incited new energy in Jackson supporters. The following month, Marcley organized an online petition to encourage Manfred to reconsider Jackson. Marcley said the petition was followed by five letters requesting Jackson’s reinstatement.
Jackson has been banned from Major League Baseball since 1921, when the first MLB commissioner, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, barred eight members of the Chicago White Sox for allegedly conspiring to fix the 1919 World Series.
As part of the “Black Sox” scandal, Jackson was accused of accepting a $5,000 bribe to commit errors. A jury acquitted Jackson of those charges in a Chicago court. Yet, Jackson remained banned from baseball until his death in 1951.
His name is still on the MLB ineligible list, which bars him from consideration for the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum, which opened in 2008, is located at 356 Field Street across from Fluor Field in Greenville’s West End.
According to a report from The CincinnatiEnquirer, Manfred plans to decide on the reinstatement of former Cincinnati Reds star Pete Rose by the end of the year. Rose was banned in 1989 for gambling on baseball, an offense he denied until 2004.
Based on their career statistics alone, Jackson and Rose should head directly to Cooperstown if they are reinstated and added to the Hall of Fame ballot. Rose holds career records for hits (4,256) and games played (3,562). Jackson compiled a career batting average of .356 with 529 extra-base hits on 4,981 at-bats. He recorded 785 RBI with an on-base percentage of .423 and a slugging percentage of .517.
However, Jackson and Rose’s Hall of Fame legacy still would be left to the mercy of voters.

Waiver trades, the players being traded have to clear wavers first. You can't just outright them.
