  1. Compare his numbers to the average Hall of Fame 3B, and add in the fact that it’s a drastically underrepresented position. He absolutely belongs.
  2. Because he was a mediocrity as a manager who, despite his education, seems to not value analytics (see how he issued intentional walks, for instance) and has no real front office experience. Basically he’s completely unqualified. And that’s before you throw in the Marisnick business.
  3. This team doesn’t need that, though. That’s the 2017 Beltran role (ignoring how that played out). Even though he was washed, that was a young team that benefited from his presence. This is the most experienced team in MLB. It’s full of leaders. There’s a greater need to bring in young guys to let the existing ones mold them than a(nother) player-coach.
  4. Those are good arguments for keeping him around in an off the field role, not as a player. He can’t hit anymore, he can only play one position, he put up negative WAR last year, and he’s over the hill. If that’s worth $5 million, everyone on this board should be lining up for a tryout to stand at first base once a week next season.
  5. For all the complaints about Dubón (and I don’t like him hitting 2nd either obviously), all the fangraphs projection models have him and Gurriel with nearly identical wRC+ next season. And Dubón can actually play defense, so even if he doesn’t hit, he has some value.
  6. Two sentences that directly contradict each other is quite a tweet.
  7. They sell brylcreem at Walmart.
  8. I’d say Montero. Though given the insanity of the free agent market this year, it doesn’t look as bad now as it did when it was signed.
  9. No, not at all.
  10. There’s the actual difference. (Laura Prepon and Wilmer Valderrama were both teenagers too.)
  11. Mila Kunis was 14 when she was cast.
  12. Man versus man, man versus dog, dog versus zombie, James Bond, stories of kings and lords, women over 50 finding themselves after divorce, and car commercial.
  13. I switched to using a quill and ink bottle for the same reason.
  14. It’s sarcasm. But it’s a reference to another poster who does actually believe that.
  15. One of those things is not like the other.
  16. Not only that, if you're actually good at being a server, that would almost certainly mean taking a pay cut.
  17. Even the Russians freed the serifs in the 1860s. It's unconscionable that we have clung to them for so long.
  18. You lost the board on this one.
  19. Even if you aren’t for your parking, you are for inviting people to tell you if they think you are in the very first sentence of the op and then arguing that you don’t care and/or defending yourself against that charge in multiple posts. But you are for the parking, too.
  20. And if they’d done that before last season, they’d have chosen poorly.
  21. Thats not how it works lol. He isn't better than Abreu right now. He is younger with a whole lot longer career left.....maybe.....dude can't even stay healthy at 25 Supposed “bottom 10” CF Chas McCormick was better both offensively and defensively last season.
