The talk in here about Yordan batting leadoff is giving me flashbacks to all of the handwringing and hairpulling in here about Springer/Altuve batting leadoff. Yeah we maximize plate appearances, but every solo homer is another 50 message board posts about it.

batting yordan twice in the line up would be full optimization 

Leadoff would be cute but I cant imagine it happening.

2 is a stretch.

It would be like if the NFL HOF started letting in "3rd down backs".

Devin Hester literally got in this year as a kick returner

The total WAR of every MLB teams 1st round picks the last 10 years

In honor of Eric Hosmer retiring

lol poor Maton looks so sad when that ball hits the ground. That's the same reaction my 2 year old makes when she drops a snack on the floor.

As a rough calculation, Whitley needs to put up about 40 WAR this year to pass Bregman on that list.

That is the second best Bregman driving in* Fisher of all time. 

 

*loosely speaking, I assume no RBI.

having 2 runners OB for one of those PA's sure does sound better to me, but who cares about runs scored?

This is why optimally you want him batting 2nd (not leadoff or even 3rd). The leadoff hitter has a runner on ahead of them less than any other spot in the lineup; conversely, 3 frequently has at-bats with no one on and 2 out-it’s actually a less important spot than 4 or even 5 in terms of likelihood of having runners on. 2 should be your best overall hitter, one with both high OBP and power.

Damn the cubs/wrigley ticket buying is stupid as fuck. Can't pick your seat just section...."will be given best seats in this section for your amount"

Fuck that.

What year are we in?

How the hell do you have negative war from your first round picks over the span of any decade?

We have another 51 WAR from our two 1st round picks in 2012.

We get credit for more than that for Mark Appel alone.  Whitley's not looking so bad either.

Not drafting players or letting a monkey handle your draft would gave produced better results 

Joey Bart being just as good at baseball as the actual BART doesn't help either.

Bednar fucking around too

Cristian Javier said he lost around 15 pounds this offseason. He acknowledged that some of his struggles last year could be attributed to some extra weight he was carrying around in addition to the already-documented mechanical flaws he had.

It would look better if it was just the H in front of a blue star, like it was on the all orange and orange will blue bill caps, instead of that clunky logo.
