did you think you were on /tv/?

Ok I've been doing some comparisons of players with comparable WAR from the past season, and how prevalent their name is on the internet. This is to get an idea of who are the most underrated players today. Of course there are way more variables to consider and I did not do a complete run down, but this does give a good idea.

I limited the search range to the span of the regular season so that post season accomplishments didn't factor in. Also, I excluded anyone who might skew the results such as David Ortiz and Jose Fernandez for obvious reasons. That isn't to say I included everyone I should have. There is a limit to the search comparisons in google trends but I opted to pick names I felt would make interesting comparisons.

I thought the lack of Porcello was interesting considering he ended up with the Cy Young (though not without controversy). Also, Jose Ramirez, Brian Dozier, and Cesar Hernandez look to be some of the most underrated names last year. (Of course Ramirez is probably a different story if you take into account the post season)

I have them grouped by WAR in increments of 0.5

if arizona gets goldy and pollock to full form and greinke and the rest of the pitching are even at 80% potential they'll likely make the playoffs.

Who /USCT/ here

>>74191971
I was at the first cubs orioles game in wrigley. Place was packed with O fans. And it was 08 when the cubs were a first place team but for some reason the whole stadium seemed to be orange and black. Cubs lossed. Good time though.

>>74192002
It's his boat and he was the one that wanted to go out at 2am. He was easily the most intoxicated of the bunch also, and also had cocaine.
I think I read somewhere that he was the only one with a boating license but I don't see that anywhere so maybe I made it up

It probably can't be proven he was driving but I would definitely still say it's his fault if I was the affected family, his friends had texted him to stop being a fucking retard also

>>74192055
I thought it wasn't his boat? I don't know what details are even real anymore desu. I remember when they were adamant that there was no alcohol or drugs involved at first.

Alright i got one for you guys.

Who is the only pitcher with at least 300 saves, and an ERA over 4?

>>74191611
It doesnt matter what i do, even i compared everyone or any two players you will see that spike. The way the graph works is to make the highest of any sample at 100 and then adjust the others from there. If everyone was talked about equally then yeah it would hover around 100 but the fact is there are huge discrepsies in media reports and that's why there are underrated players which is the point of the charts.

>>74192187
It has to be Jose Mesa

there are people on this board that don't remember the jose mesa-vizquel fued

> In the book, Vizquel criticized Mesa's performance in Game 7 of the 1997 World Series: "The eyes of the world were focused on every move we made. Unfortunately, Jose's own eyes were vacant. Completely empty. Nobody home. You could almost see right through him. Not long after I looked into his vacant eyes, he blew the save and the Marlins tied the game." Mesa reacted furiously, pledging to hit Vizquel upon every subsequent opportunity: "Even my little boy told me to get him. If I face him 10 more times, I'll hit him 10 times. I want to kill him."[2] By the end of the 2007 season, Mesa had hit Vizquel twice. Vizquel expressed regret in 2014 about what happened due to his comments about Mesa (which he also stated were misinterpreted) but Mesa and Vizuqel have never reconciled, to the point where Mesa said he hadn't spoken to Vizquel in over a decade and had no plans to ever talk to him again.

Gray wasn't better than Teheran. And Maeda with Teheran is interchangeable. Keep going until you get to Teheran. The guy is legit. I don't understand the need to belittle his talent. It's just unnecessary.

Yeah who cares about how much good fielding inflates your counting stats

>>74201302
>>74201278
(((Maeda))) is still a retarded inclusion.

>>74201359
He was listed 11th, and he WAS pretty good last year, at last on a general par with Teheran

>>74201359
he was pretty fantastic for all but his last 4 starts. Had an ERA in the 2.7 range and how blown up in his final 4 which brought it up to 3.2. I don't know where this meme of him being some scrub comes from. He's pretty well above average..

>>74201330
>>74201356
If Teheran was on the Cubs his ERA would be 2.35. If a shitters like Hendricks and Arrieta with FIPS OF 3.4 and 3.6 can get 2.1 and 3.1 ERA'S then they aren't top 1p pitchers either.

>>74201394
arrieta has like a .5 HR/9 over the past three seasons
he was also actually good in 2015 unlike teheran and threw a few no-nos to boot

>>74201408
And Scherzer gave up like 30 bombs this year? What's your point? Arrieta doesn't have good peripherals. Hes trash and is only good because of his defense. Put him in Milwaukee and his ERA would be legit 3.7-4.0. You put syndergaard or Kerhaw in Milwaukee and their ERA's would still look clean.

Nunez is underrated. He's projected to be a 3 WAR player.

Is there any legitimate reason to think the Cubs won't repeat this season? I really want to here your retarded rationalizations as to how they won't win.

>>74202104
Cubs only get one world series per decade

>>74202104
They can't be stopped. Not with that rotation and lineup. There bullpen is a little weaker, but wow. I'm pretty scared for the next several seasons. I've actually placed money on Lester winning the Cy Young this season.

They're not winning the series or anything but they're making the playoffs.

They had the best record at the brEakins and a shitty bullpen implosion in the second half and still made the playoffs

>>74203336
Because they havent been to the playoffs since 2001 and never won the world series.
