Vlad and Hoffman are all but guarantees–Hoffman barely missed last year.
Clemens and Bonds got beyond the 50% hurdle, so they are outside shots, as is Edgar Martinez.
For new guys, the obvious picks are the Joneses (Chipper and Andruw), and Thome.
The saber stats also support Scott Rolen getting in, and you can go for Vizquel or Moyer if you're feeling really generous.

That didn't stop the A's from moving. But they don't have to move, they can just go bankrupt. Manfred wants the Expos back in Montreal, who can afford a redo.

>>74907084
Before the game on Opening Day, every home start he would have made, television mentions and moments of silence every game broadcast, shoulder patch, every microsecond of airtime during the All-Star Weekend, between every pitch of the game, and they'll probably rename the team after him. Darkies down there don't care he killed people, they blindly love him for being one of their own

>>74907049
I didn't say Andruw was guaranteed, just that he was an obvious choice. His greatness in Atlanta as the greatest defensive CF ever will take time for voters to appreciate, I think, but it would be super cool if him and Chipper got elected at the same time. Then you'd have the entire core of the peak Atlanta Braves, all in the Hall–Cox, Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Jones #1 and Jones #2.

Vancouver, Montreal, Vegas, Raleigh.

Doubt it. He's got 10 years; I don't think he's the kind of player who will fall through the cracks for that long, plus he doesn't have roiding suspicion for the oldster/sjw types to use as an excuse to blackball him.

Is Mike Francesa Jewish or is it just because he lives in New York?

>>74907251
he had those back-to-back mad-HR seasons at an age where players normally peak, though, age 28-29. If they'd happened when he was bouncing around other teams later on I'd be suspicious, too, but maybe he just had a really short peak as a power hitter and came back to earth. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt with him taking shitty care of his body.

m8 they've been out of contention since spring training started

>>74907752
me too, my friend. Quick breakdown of the stats if you don't know what they are, if you do just ignore the rest of this post:

>WAR
Wins Above Replacement. How many more games your team would win in a season on average with you playing a position than a replacement-level (think AAAA-type) guy.

Example: Last year, having Mike Trout (10.6 WAR) in CF rather than, say, Randal Grichuk (2.7 WAR,) would theoretically give you 7-8 more wins as a team. I don't know how it is calculated so go ask Baseball-Reference.com or Fangraphs.com if you want to know.

>WAR7
The total WAR of your 7 best seasons, by WAR.

>JAWS
JAffe WAR Score System (the guy who created it is named Jay Jaffe.) Measures Hall of Fame worthiness by averaging your total WAR and WAR7.

>>74907886
>he's not a catcher
He is according to BBRef and has played more games at catcher than first. It would be impossible, anyway, seeing as the WAR for first basemen is weighted differently than catcher WAR.

>>74907931
This year will be the 7th season since he was last a full time catcher, and his 4th since he's caught at all. In 2-3 more seasons he'll have more games at 1st and DH than catcher. You can't count his numbers towards a catcher's WAR when he hasn't caught for half his career

This game, the better player wins.
Only annoying thing was bunt cheesers, guys who bunted 90% of the time with ichiro, dee gordon, reyes. But they've nerfed that this game. It was among the top complaints.

I'm just going by what I'm given for data/stats. Take it up with BBRef if you really take issue with that; I don't know the formulas they use and so can't compare with other first basemen.

I got MVP edition. First The Show i bought since like 08, absolutely love Diamond Dynasty. And as someone who plays madden ultimate team and FIFA UT, this one seems the most fair. You dont need to pay $500 to get Mike Trout. All players are acheivable through just playing. Rewards at every corner. Turn on the game, reward. Finish Home run derby, reward. Play road to the show, reward.

Who /stillplayingTS16/ here

Did some pointless exercises in re: the Mauer thing.

If you were to take the top active players by JAWS from each position, here's your team:

C Joe Mauer (already argued above, it's not like he's incapable of it)
1B Albert Pujols
2B Chase Utley (Robinson Cano if you insist on a full-timer)
3B Adrian Beltre
SS Troy Tulowitzki
LF Ryan Braun
CF Carlos Beltran
RF Ichiro Suzuki
SP Clayton Kershaw
RP Jonathan Papelbon

Without Kershaw memeing, would this team beat pretty much any other right now?

Everyone has hopped on a bandwagon at some point. It's a fun way to start watching and following a team. It's also a fun way to learn that winning doesn't happen every year and disappointment often does happen one way or another, if not multiple times throughout the year. As long as you don't start following the rags, you'll be good.

What does MLB 17 do better than 16 without saying the word "retro"

>>74909035
Same thing that new college textbooks do every year

>>74909035
From what I can see, a whole ton. Franchise mode has a ton of new features and road to the show is a bit more in depth. Apparently diamond dynasty is "complete" now. Look them up.

>>74909035

Once upon a time there was a baseball team that won the American League Pennant. They made it to the World Series and did good, going up 3 games to 2. They were about to win it all, when suddenly they forgot how to get strike 3. They tried and they tried but no matter what they could not finish the game. Then the Cardinals came back and smoked the >rags asses, and a legend was born

Did you just call me, of all people, a faggot?

You may want to reconsider your words the next time you talk to someone you don't know online.

I am the epitome of masculinity, the essence of testosterone, the goal of what every man wishes they could be.

I lift 6 days a week, only eat the best foods and fuck the hottest chicks. I cut down trees for fun, beat up nerds as a hobby and volunteer at the local homeless shelter every Sunday.

I guarantee 99 percent of the fools who have called me a faggot on this website wouldn't say shit to me if they met me in real life. Afraid that their existence would come to an end at the slip of a wrong word. Buddy, if I EVER catch you outside, your asshole would tighten up so much you couldn't fit a hair through it.

Depends if its a one run game, is first open, is he a speedster who will steal second, a home run threat, is the pitcher up next. Cmon now

Well considering that you didn't tell me of the battery I was facing was a r or l handed batter, I'm going to assume right. And since we're in fantasy land I'm circa 95 Maddox and what I would do is paint the outside black with my 2 seamer. It drifts over the corner, the battery struck out looking, and I win.
