Why do so many people fall here?

>>73963186

thats another thing i was gonna shitpost about, timmy is elite defensively he should be somewhere on that list, if he develops his bat he'll be a beast, not to mention his good speed.

>>73963178

do you think he has some value to a team in the chase at the deadline? he's gonna be a FA next year and on the wrong side of 30 so the sox probably wont resign him unless they have a miraculously great season this year (lol).

>>73963146
That's pretty messed up.

>>73963247
Maybe it does but no one knows how to measure it.

who THE FUCK is going to stop the rays from breaking the all time strikeout record next season?

>>73963323
Justin Smoak should be able to do it all by himself

>>73963278
If he can cut back his errors he'll be elite defensively, he's still learning

I don't have faith in the bat though
not yet anyway, hope rick doesn't put him in the 2 spot. He has some surprising pop, I can see him having a season like addison russell had last season but with more steals as a best case scenario. but worst case he could definitely lead the league in errors and have a sub .300 obp

smoak is going to have more strikeouts than the entire combined ALE pitching staff

>>73963146
it would have been a first round pick and a second round pick had they not signed fowler, thats pretty steep to be honest.

also makes me think thats why they gave fowler so much more money and years, probably had a spy with inside info that they would be penalized with draft picks being revoked, fuck bros how do we stop the cardinals from hacking and spying on everyone

>>73963359

in the show he was slumping so hard for me at the start of the season, like batting .150 slumping, he's picked it up to .240ish but it shows how weak his bat is. if he can be a .260ish hitter with like 15 dingers id be ecstatic, forget about even batting 2nd at this point thats a pipe dream.

>>73963953
Not many team has a top 5 + top 50 combo to give.

>>73963953
They can probably get something like Martes Tucker and a couple mid tier guys from the 'stros

>>73963953
Scott Kazmir and Brandon McCarthy for Quintana.

>>73964001
The Cubs and braves are the only two teams that could pull that off imo

>>73963953
they won't take anything less than what they got for Eaton, which was a top 50 and a top 10ish

>>73964034
There are four teams with the prospects to do that. The only team from Chicago that could pull off that trade are the White Sox, and they won't be doing it for very obvious reasons.

>>73964072
Who are the other 3. Dodgers?

Looking at the rankings, I don't think the Sox get a top 10 prospect for Q seeing. None of the top 10 teams are ready to contend except for the Mets who have pitching.

rosario is also the only prospect in the entire organization who is completely unavailable for trade

i assumed quintana would end up with the stros for some young controllable players and lower level prospects, but i also thought that would be done by now, so...

>>73964179
But he's also the only top 10 prospect they have. I doubt the Mets would give up their top 10 position prospect for another pitcher.

Bellinger and Brock Stewart for Q!!!!
What could go wrong with trading for a Dodgers 1B prospect with good minor league numbers?

The Reds have a great pick in this year's draft and have the 8th best farm system. If we can't beat the Cubs we'll at least cuck the cuckinals out of the postseason.

what kind of trade would the cubs make for Q?

i know hahn said he wouldnt trade with the cubs, but what if? what kind of package would they offer?

>>73964193
yeah i was agreeing with you? the mets have already told people this offseason that rosario isn't going anywhere, even for the likes of wade davis when the royals offered

also a big reason that the mets don't have that many top 100 guys this year is that they're all pitching in the rotation. syndergaard was top 10 at the beginning of 2015 iirc

>>73964123
MAKE IT HAPPEN

>>73964223
Sox will only take a 5/50 for Quintana which they will easily get if they dangle him until the deadline. Quintana is probably the best pitcher on the market this year especially with his contract

You will have other teams making moves to get that package in place

>>73964223
Hahn said he would though. No ones off the table as long as the right pieces are in play.

But the Mets need pitching more than anyone.
>daily reminder that the mest paid dan warthen more than a quarter million american dollars a year to destroy their young, once promising rotation.

>>73963967
>ragsposting becomes reality

>>73964251

yeah i know that, ive been keeping up and hahn has said they were close to moving him on xmas but the offer wasnt sweet enough.

hahns also said they are in no rush to trade him, and i agree dangle him at the deadline and you'll get a very sweet probably 10/50 deal for him from a contender looking to make a final push.

>>73964266

are you sure about that? hahn said specifically he wouldnt make trades with the cubs and their homosexual fanbase. has he said otherwise since?

For the good of baseball, quintana has to come to Houston. Regardless of who else you root for, wanting the M's to win is the domain of beta babbies, and rooting for the >rags is downright sinful. The Astros are the ones with the most potential to destroy these two teams for the next several seasons.
I urge you, /mlb/, to use your collective meme magic and help get Q to H-town.
As I said, it's for the good of the game.

and remember that you gave us scotty 'i have a super hot wife' podsednik, a valuable piece to our world series title so i expect good value.

>>73964374
Yeah

And teams know the Sox's worst option is keeping Quintana which is not even a bad option, so they have all the leverage

How could the Ms obtain Quintana? Is there anyone left?

>>73964374
He said it like right away. I think originally kw or someone in the org was the one who said it.

>>73964453

pretty much on point.

he is only like 27 isnt he? say the sox pieces we got from the period sox and the nationals work out as hoped, q would still be pretty not that old by the time we started winning so its a win win

>>73964485
Giolito is awful.

>>73964451

Second, I think Francis Marte and Brad Peacock plus a lower prospect for Q is pretty fair.

granted, and the Ms could give you one in either o'neill or lewis, but what else? quintana isn't going for two top 30 guys alone, especially when they play the same position

Dont think it'd work out with the M's. Honestly Houston or yankees would be the best. But yankees seem pretty out now we're all just waiting for the stros.

Kershaw missed two months with a back injury, which likely cost him a fourth National League Cy Young Award in six years. No, it doesn't matter. Kershaw was already on a Hall of Fame trajectory entering 2016, and all he did was deliver his most dominant season yet, doing insane things like putting up a 172/11 strikeout-to-walk ratio(!) in 149 innings with a 1.69 ERA. You can offer all the lame "but playoffs" jokes you want, forgetting that he managed to dominate the Cubs in Game 2 of the NL Championship Series, and he's still the best pitcher in baseball.

Wow, you would think the shitposting would be rational.

It's a legit Kershaw general that stemmed from talking about Felix Hernandez not having ever pitched in a big game.

Wow.

Im have a lab to finish,
Talk about kershaw for at least the best 40 posts please. I want something funny to return to in a couple hours.

wow kershit is shit when it matters wow

>>73965842
I legitimately laughed mate

Kershit is mentally weak and can't handle big games or emotions, we get it

I like memeing on kershaw like everyone else but didn't he pitch a really good game in like game 2 of the nlcs? so it is possible for him to not choke in the postseason.

>>73965877
The only way he'll get a ring is when he's past his prime and is on some team as a reliever.

It's times like this I'm glad I was born a fan of a dynasty franchise with (arguably but not really lol) the best postseason pitcher of all time

>>73965289
This is a legit good top 5. Paxton and Smyly are perfectly decent 2 WAR pitchers. Iwakuma, Felix, and Quintana are capable of putting up 4 WAR seasons. If they have Q, they could overtake Houston for the AL West.

>>73966059

Paxton 2016 ERA = 3.6

Paxton 2016 FIP = 2.8
Kazmir 2016 ERA = 4.5

Paxton was more than twice as valuable as Kazmir in 2016.

I dont think teams should be able to tell grown ass men they can't chew in the ballpark. I dont smoke or chew myself but to each there own

I was never impressionable enough to think that was a good idea just cuz a ball player did it. Its on the parents.

not if Thomas doesn't and/or can't support his own assertions.

Here's a question for you all:

Would you like to see a definitive list of every single player who juiced since the late 80s? How would knowing a certain player you're fond of possibly being on that list affect you? Would you lose all respect for them? Forgive them for their transgressions? Not care?
I would certainly be in the latter camp, because I just don't care anymore except for when someone like Frank Thomas pulls accusations out of their ass like he's doing, because these people ought to shut their fucking mouths if they can't provide hard evidence to back up their accusations.

the """integrity""" of the game is already spoiled by the fact that every professional athlete is taking some sort of supplements meant to improve his body and game, illegal or not. roids are roids but every professional sport is already a biological testing ground and it's not going to change unless you change the nature of competition, doping tests cannot keep up with new drugs and everyone with ambition will be trying to get an edge. griffey was def on some designer shit, BALCO probably just made every other producer go underground for a while. no one at the top of their game is clean, so you might as well go all the way to try to create baseball superhumans instead of witch-hunting and making an example of out of a few

5. Jon Lester

Debate me

>>73967794
Oh wait so I think I misunderstood it

Apparently in Japan, the term ミート is kind of a colloquial baseball term for success rate/contact rate when hitting.

So read it as contact-rate/accurate hitting instead

Two injury-prone first basemen over someone who had a career year and has nowhere to go but up?

Notice how your list is lacking anyone on the Cubs. Let's play a little game shall we? Let's put Lester at pitcher, Rizzo at first, Zobrist at second, Bryant at third, and Russell at short.

Don't be in denial about the best infield in baseball. You'd literally be kidding yourself would that be the case.

Someone who might be proven at veteran status, a consistently better defender and just as good as a hitter than Seager is.

Russell has the edge for higher WAR and UZR, it would be foolish to think of it the other way.

Not an argument

>>73968045
>Anthony Rizzo, Addison Russell, Jon Lester, and Ben Zobrist are the best players in the NL at their respective position

>>73968051
Do the math.

Rizzo isn't injury prone and has posted a career high in WAR. It's 2017, the early 2000s are over.

Russell is among the best defensive shortstops in the game UZR-wise and on top of that he's a solid hitter. Compared to the competition and arguments against, there aren't many valid ones.

Lester is the best postseason pitcher in baseball on top of being a top 3 regular season pitcher. You can't argue against.

Zobrist has been a 4-5 WAR player every year, and his primary position is second base. Altuve might be a solid argument against Zobrist, but no one else compares to those two players at second, as other arguments such as Cano or Murphy are primed for regression based on current metrics.

If the White Sox get rid of Q and Robertson how many good young players will they have?
