Eaton should be either #1 or #2 depending on trea turner.

>>74433146
Yes you negative nancy
Start preparing the bleach when they're showing no signs of progress in june
>>74433445
Gonna be keeping a super close eye on Birmingham and Charlotte this season.
For all we know they'd probably be more enjoyable than the current majors team.
>>74433360
Only saving grace is get traded to AL team and playing DH, switching over to 1B, or retiring. 1B sounds like a better choice, likely to retire as a Met
wow an easy 1-2-3 inning, who was that pitcher, didn't catch his name?

>tfw too smart for /pol/
Nobody believed me when I said Giolito was way over rated, had no movement on his fastball and wilted under the slightest amount of pressure and that the Eaton trade was a good one for the Nats. I will accept all of you apologies now.
fuck Anderson is going to be such a good fielder
Moncada doesn't look too bad either
>>74433665
what, he was out by a whole step
>>74433677
I've been saying I didn't like the Eaton trade since it happened
What did he mean by this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVIz4JB5X0w
>>74433677
I was already iffy when giolito was being hung for Sale, but then he went for Eaton so I was like eh well, could have been worse?

The baseball tonight podcast today was really interesting. No matter what you think about bbt or Olney.
>>74433677
No worries. Zach Collins will be the next Posey soon enough. [spoiler]Minus all the rings of course.[/spoiler]
The only one im worried about is Moncada's bat living up to the hype. The team has a good enough track record with pitching that i believe they will be fine in the long run.

Don't blame his dad. Blame KW and Jerry.
>>74433976
cut em clippy
>>74433806
It really isnt. When things are bad nobody really talks about the team in a national media sense. So you can watch MLB network or whatever and not have to hear much about them when they are under .500.
Plus we as fans saw the team win in 05. And any fan that does not embrace the wacky shit that follows this team from time to time is doing it wrong.
Id much rather be a Sox fan then something totally anonymous like the Padres or Rays.
>all this bullying
What did the white sox fans do to deserve this?
>>74434008
lol a big dumb red down arrow
>>74434008
Follow a comically inept franchise.
>>74434007
How they ever managed top win a WS, I'll never know.
Wow, I'm amazed there's still a couple thousand people who give a fuck
I thought that number would be in the hundreds...
>tfw part of the 1% who's still a diehard sox fan
>>74434007
I never gave a fuck about national media anyways. Can't always keep lingering on 05. Even Jerry talked about moving past 05 and did so by discarding the 05 world series sign on the dan ryan side to replace it with the new logo sign
>>74434008
Probably because the team is shitty and we as fans know it
>peter bourjos gets replaced by jason bourgeoisie
>davidson
So we've learned from today's game is he needs to stick to learning third
of course the second takeaway that we already knew was
>we traded Reed for this
Mariners!

>>74434048
>Cubs have 15,000 at spring training games
>Sox can't get 3,000
>>74434102
cubs have the biggest band wagon in baseball right now, how is it surprising that they would have a ton of people there?
>>74434102
Is the Whos spring training stadium also adorned with red down arrows?
The Cubs bandwagon this season is going to make the Jays look like they're from Florida
>>74434102
To be fair, it's a miracle even 2000 showed up for a team as comically inept as the whos.
>>74434087
No, but it is one of the better ones.
>>74434127
I wanna catch some spring training games there eventually, I just live in Illinois so I don't think it will ever happen
hey it's split squad, half the fans are at the other game, no bully pls
>>74434048
Im probably wrong on this but dont the Sox have some of the most expensive spring training tickets? I swear i remember hearing about that. Why you would buy a ticket to a spring training game for a team lacking in real star power isnt real surprising considering all the other options you have right now.
Either way i do love one thing about the Cell's new name. It makes it obvious who the '16ers are. All the cubs fans i know that are actual fans are too happy about finally winning the title to give a shit about the Sox. Let alone the name of our stadium.
>bustcada
h-he'll come around ;_;
>>74434102
Yup. I'm there now.
>>74434140
Well it's almost like god's trials. The GR name is just another thing thrown at us to see who can stay the most devout even at the most adversity.
It's just that you'd think someday that devotion will be repaid and that it'll all be worth it. You'd think..
Would you rather be a loyal-to-a-fault whos fan following a shitty team no matter what or a bandwagon cusb fan following their team only cause they were good and won?
how does kawasaki fuck up such a basic play but then perfectly execute a much harder one on the next play like that?
fuckin crazy jap
The Whos will be stuck at the bottom until Jerry dies or his girlfriend secretly records him calling someone a nigger.

the US has enough starters on the roster that each will probably just start once
archer, duffy, fulmer, gray, happ, stroman, roark

>>74434290
...what?
How the hell did you get that from >>74434266?
Obviously the Cubs fanbase has been flooded by faggots that don't care about baseball, but there are still plenty of fans that have always cared, especially older folks, and there are a lot of them at Sloan mixed in with the faggots

Martinez. Almonte is good, faggot got done in by drugs last season but when he played he was very good. If we get a better utility man (we should) Martinez is out

If Mike Trout maintains his performance on average, he will have a career WAR of nearly 100 by the time he's 30. For comparison, Albert pujols is 36 and took 16 years to reach 100. Adrian belted, 37, has only 90 WAR.
Take the next decade to truly appreciate the greatest player baseball has ever seen.
>>74440790
What does that amount to when you factor for the steroids?
>>74440790
But how many rings will he get?
>>74438576
Almonte is about replacement level, nothing really noteworthy other than okay defense. Michael Martinez is literally AL pitcher-tier offensively (2012-2016: 26 wRC+) and defensively plays a bunch of positions pretty shitty.
Not even close to an equal comparison.
And this is just about the only thing that bothers me about Tito. There's no reason why the utility spot couldn't be filled with Yandy, Erik Gonzalez, or even Ronny Rodriguez.
>>74438939
No wrong answers here but I'll add Lofton.
>>74440790
but he has to put keep up his current pace of nearly 10 WAR for 15 more seasons until he's 40 to catch up to Ruth
>>74439275

>>74440867
what the fuck?
>>74440897
Overrated. Ruth was never a good player if you consider today's game.

ruth at his peak if you teleported him to 2017 wouldnt hit 700+ HR in only 2500 games.

He knows this. The office will make the move. As odd as that is to say.
Are we sleeping on the D-backs?
>>74443407
Bum has never once carried a 25 man roster into the post-season. Not once. He is a role player. Not a guy who can get to the playoffs. He's not good enough to carry a team for 32 starts.
You also gonna take David Freese over Adrian Beltre?
You taking Marco Scutaro over Robinson Cano?
What about Travis Ishikawa over Mike Trout?
That's what you sound like.
James Shields day
Well at least there's still other prospects to watch
>Bum has never once carried a 25 man roster into the post-season.
>Not a guy who can get to the playoffs.
>>74443726
Is that why he carried his team into the post-season in 2013 with a losing record? And in 2014 choking up an elimination game at AT&T facing Kershaw?
An elimination game.
That Bumgarner lost.
When the marbles were on the line.
His teams final chance to live.
Bumgarner couldn't beat the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Factual.
Irrefutable.
Bumshit is a great pitcher. But the guy isn't someone who you can rely on for all 32 starts. Not a pitcher who can carry a team for 32 starts. 3.89 second half ERA in 2016. When his teams offence and bullpen collapsed. He dissappeared with them and sunk together...
Why can't you have a conversation? Why do facts and events which actually happened make you angry?
Bumshit is the second best LHP in all of baseball, just can't do it for 32 starts..
He isn't good enough.
3.89 second half ERA..and this was the best season of his career.
>>74443854
2015*
Ill put it in simpler terms for your simpleton mind.
If 2016 bumshit played for the Dodgers, the Dodgers do not make the post-season...
No way around it.
>>74443430
Nah, Francona gets a little chubbed up when he can find an older utility guy who can play everywhere (including 1B). I almost feel like if he could field an entire roster of utility players, he would do it.

>>74444037
Who is this slugger hugger?
>>74444037

>>74443430
>He knows this.
You sure about this? Martinez is getting in his 4th spring training game today already (3 starts). Tito should be well aware by now what he's got with MMart.
If he knew or acknowledged that Martinez was shit he wouldn't be giving him ABs instead of finding a better replacement.
And I have a feeling the front office is letting Tito have this cause they know in the grand scheme it doesn't matter all that much. It's just one of his odd fixations that's worth putting up with.
>>74443985
I think he identifies with them a lot cause of his own playing career.
>>74444037
Someone should make an entire roster of Steve Pearce's on OOTP and put them up against the all Adam Dunn team.
http://www.fangraphs.com/not/dangerous-experiment-a-roster-of-25-adam-dunns/
>>74444263
How do they derive Steve Pearce's pitching stats?
>>74444279

By the way, I don't have OOTP and I'm at work anyway. I just threw it out there for the /MLB/ folks who do have it and know what they're doing.
reminder Brantley and Kipnis are kill
>>74444244
>You sure about this?
Hell they already cut Martinez once and the talent pool he's competing with is too good. A couple years ago I'd be a full pessimist too but all the signings have been good since the Swish/Bourn move, which I literally could not believe, I thought we'd be stuck with both of them for at least 5 years.

Depends on your value of the intangibles in baseball. During his prime he had all star numbers offensively while being great in the field. He was the perfect 3 hole hitter able to use power or put the ball in play where he wanted it.
Where people really appreciate him is his leadership in the dugout and 'class' he brought to the organization. He's essentially Jeter-light for the Mets
>>74449217

BOOOOOOOOOOOG
>>74449307
Yeah. Baseball games should be like 3rd or 4th date. You typically want a first date to be "intimate" if you will. You need a quiet environment to talk and get to know each other. I guess if you took her to a Rays game it'd be okat
