He is a franchise pitcher who is only scratching the surface talent-wise.

It isn't what I said, because Correa has exceeded his projections. This doesn't mean he was considered a generational prospect(aka the only kinds of prospects teams usually intentionally lose for) leading up to the draft, a la Harper and ARod. It means that the Astros have a fantastic player development system that took the foundation of Correa, and made him into an elite player.

>>77183493
he was the best at abusing the elderly

Correa is the best shortstop in the game right now desu but I'm biased

>>77183851
The fact that I had to debate whether he was talking about Alcides or Yunel really kills that statement too

1. Correa
2. Seager
3. Bogaerts
4. Lindor
5. Gregorius
6. Cozart
7. Andrus

no one else matters

>>77183881
I'm a royals fan and I immediately thought about Escobat.

I mean the dude had his integral parts. He did some work in the 2015 Post season, getting the ALCS MVP, hitting a in the park homerun at the first AB in the WS.

He's finally in the lineup where he belongs, in the 7 8 and 9th position and he's actually being one of the royals best players in the last 30 days with an fWAR of 0.6 wins.

But he doesnt even deserve to be in the top 25 SS.

>>77183898
Just wait until Didi gets to >300 plate appearances. He'll be #1

>>77184258
He's never really been good, in all honestly. It's more or less just been the fact that he has the potential to do some really amazing shit, its just really sporadic, but yet he manages to pull himself together in some kind of Esky Magic when the Royals need him the most, and that's why despite having the worst BA in the league for the past 3 or more years, or down there, he's still been a starting lineup member.

Also he's not that bad defensively?

What makes Jeff Loria such a bad owner and why does everyone seem to hate him?

>>77183800
Ramirez is the 3B for the foreseeable future, there's no reason Lindor moves there

>>77184317
He doesn't give a fuck about the marlins

>>77184343
Considering Ramirez can play 7 positions at an all-star level, I don't see why not?

In Boystown rn. Anyone else here and want to meet up for some fun uwu

>>77184317
For me, it's that he threw a hissyfit and quit the expos, forcing the MLB to buy them off him, which then forced them to kill the expos because any positive move they did would be perceived as the expos getting a competitive advantage from the league(That was seriously their mindset), so they killed the Expos 2003 wild card chase, and put a bunch of games in Puerto Rico until they could find an owner who was going to move them to an American Market

>>77184317
"1. He got his farewell party. Now it's time to go.
In hindsight, Loria has been planning his own going-away party for years. The big All-Star bash had all the feeling of a last "Look at me!" before he waddles off into the sunset. It's been the worst-kept secret in Miami that Loria would eventually sell the team the moment he was no longer contractually obligated to give the City of Miami a dime of the profits, but it would have been tough to imagine things would ever go this well for him. You see, 2017 was always planned to be one long walk to the cash-out booth for the Fish owner, who never had any intentions of bringing the taxpayers along for the ride. Even so, the stars have aligned even more perfectly than Loria could have envisioned as he gasses up the getaway car."

"Even as rumors have swirled that the Marlins were close to finalizing a deal with construction magnate Jorge Mas, the deal still hasn't gotten done. Reports are that Loria continues to stay firm on his inflated asking price of $1.3 billion.

The truth is, Loria seems hell-bent on delaying the inevitable so he can inch closer to the March 2018 finish line that would negate the 5 percent cut of the profits that Miami taxpayers would be due. "

>>77184317
"In an effort to make the Marlins a sexier sell, Loria has kept a few of his franchise's top players, like Giancarlo Stanton, locked into monster contracts. But most of those contracts are cleverly back-loaded, so it's the team's next owners who will really foot the bills to keep the big-name players in Little Havana. Loria signed those contracts knowing full well he wouldn't be around when the real money came due in 2018 and beyond."

>>77184382
>>77184370
>>77184358
>>77184345
Real debate.

Who's worse, Loria or Reinsdorf? And are they the two bottommost owners in the league or is there someone out there worst than both?

>>77184475
Loria has screwed over a few teams
Reinsdorf has screwed over his two teams and the rest of mlb with his involvement in the 94 strike

>A.) Do nothing and watch team make a postseason run.
>B.) Instigate a labor dispute that cancels the postseason.

If you chose B, you are Jerry Reinsdorf.

Also, he's stripping the Bulls organization in order to fund the White Sox rebuild.

Reinsdorf thought it would be a good idea to make Hawk Harrelson the GM
Hawks Harrelson then went on to fire manager Tony La Russa
Reinsdorf has employed Kenny Williams for 15+ years. Instead of firing him for only 2 playoff appearances in that time, he was promoted.

Baseball is racist

LFQ showing especially low today for the Cusb

>>77185949
He's undeniably number 1 this season, although the two players that were outpacing him both got injured. In any case, there's not a lot of room for him to even be overrated.

>>77185821
This year? Judge

Of all time? Derek Jeter and Cal Ripkin Jr.

>>77186017
Im not a yankee fan, but how do you say a guy who won 5 out of 6 ws and basically was clutch as fuck in every post season he played????

>>77186084
if ubaldo jiminez pitched 50 shutout innings in a single postseason, and then went back to being complete shit next year, he would still be shit

jeter rose to the occasion and was clutch, but he is objectively overrated with respect to his entire career of baseball (over 90% of which is regular season games)

>>77186017
Jeter maybe but Ripken put up some monster seasons and has an accumulated 90 something WAR. He's not Mays but he's definitely an all time great

>>77186125
Jeter is objectively a top ten shortstop of all time though, and is a hall of famer by every metric (despite what /mlb/ says). Are you seriously implying that Jeter was shit in the regular season?

Your example Ubaldo Jimenez example gave the implication that you were saying Jeter was shit.

I guarantee you when Jeter is HoF eligible, there are going to be countless articles about why Jeter doesn't deserve to get in.

They've already said on numerous occasions that they aren't trading any of their top prospects, which means no big deals will be done at the deadline. Cashman is probably just saying that to appease the casual fans that need muh competitive team regardless of cost every year.
