Yasiel Puig MLB Network's top RF in the game today

markakis8 · Jan 18, 2014

I don't really think too much about the "shredders" list usually but this is just an absolute joke. Here is the list:

Yasiel Puig – Los Angeles Dodgers
Ryan Braun – Milwaukee Brewers
Jose Bautista – Toronto Blue Jays
Giancarlo Stanton – Miami Marlins
Allen Craig – St. Louis Cardinals
Carlos Beltran – New York Yankees
Jayson Werth – Washington Nationals
Shane Victorino – Boston Red Sox
Hunter Pence – San Francisco Giants
Jason Heyward – Atlanta Braves

I know Stanton and Bautista have dealt with injuries and Braun (when did he move to RF?) has the suspension but to rank Puig above those 3 after 2/3 of a season? It's not like he put up Mike Trout #'s and the guy needs to GROW UP on top of it. I would easily put the aforementioned 3 above Puig, not to mention Werth, Beltran, Pence, and some guy that didn't even make the top ten that had the highest WAR of all RF last year - Jay Bruce.

What....a.....joke....

lol That's ridiculous.

TNP777 · Jan 18, 2014

I can understand the outrage. The other nine guys shouldn't have even been mentioned.

All future HOFers, Puig with 100%...what a list!!

Bull XXXX

If he played for Kansas City nobody would have any clue who he was.

Jay Bruce has quietly become the best RF on baseball.

He doesn't even get talked about in Cincinnati.

Top 5 Reds discussions in Cincy
1. Dusty Baker (now gone)
2. Phillips antics
3. Votto walks too much
4. Billy Hamilton
5. Chapman starter/closer/trade?

86. Jay Bruce

Braun is moving to RF for '14. And yeah, seeing him in the Central I'd have Bruce above all of those guys as well

Jay Bruce got barely a mention on the radio/TV about winning the silver slugger award. He is by far the best RF in baseball in today's game. No runner tries to score home from second on a fly ball to RF because they know he'll throw them out at home.

Hmm, kind of like nobody knows who Hosmer is? Say Miami, or San Diego or Houston if you want. People notice youngsters in KC. Just saying.

Puig won't even be a top 10 RF, IMO. A lot of people are going to seriously regret the money they've put into him this offseason.

where's Michael Cuddyer?

lisu · Jan 18, 2014

I thought Pence was a little low on the list also, but agree that Jay Bruce needed to be on the list higher than Pence also!

gmsieb · Jan 18, 2014

That's pretty embarrassing for the MLB network, not even close.

You'd think ex-players would be less likely to buy the hype. Puig has a lot of potential, but no brain. Probably a ped user as well. Could be a good 5 tool player or a huge flop, with a quick drop.

The brain part scares me more than the talent excites me.

No way he deserved the number one spot in this.

I hope he figures it out.

In line for his AARP card!

I post this as a Cardinals Fan.

Jay Bruce not on this list is crazy
Allen Craig played most of 2013 at 1B with only 12 Complete Games at RF.

Sam's right.

If Hosmer is your example, it doesn't work. If Hosmer was on the Dodgers nobody would care.

Hosmer being on the Dodgers is irrelevant. He said nobody would notice if Puig was in KC. I was saying he's wrong. Anyone recall the astronomical prices on Hosmer chrome autos? They still sell over $100. His point was people wouldn't notice. My argument is that talent gets noticed. Who plays in LA is irrelevant to that argument.

Edit to note- Hosmer is a top 10 player at his position, at the age of 23.

scotty216brs · Jan 18, 2014

I'll bet Shane Victorino wouldn't have made this list a year ago. But yeah, Bruce probably should have made the top 10.

Allen Craig above Beltran is embarassing.

markakis8 · Jan 18, 2014

I believe they put Allen Craig in the list b/c he, like Braun is projected to play RF and I believe his amazing clutch hitting last year with RISP put him in the middle of the pact. Not that I agree with his placement, but at least is makes sense to some people unlike Puig at 1.

I guess you forget that Alex Gordon was once the most hyped rookie in the game.
