I'm as sad as any Celtics fan to see the end of an era, but now is the time to blow the team up. They were a fringe playoff team even with Rondo which in the NBA equates to purgatory. They're only 8 games out of the worst record and if Ainge does decide to blow the team up they should be able...
Cano had a WAR of 8.2 this year, good enough for 2nd in the majors behind the demi-god that is Mike Trout, are you seriously going to try to make this argument?
Some areas? Frazier has Harper beat in every single batting statistic (not to mention a substantial 75 point lead in OPS) aside form having one more triple and home run then Frazier so I'm not sure where this "some" is coming from. I'll give you the fact that he's 19, but the ROY goes to the...
The AL ROY is allready sewn up so discussion on that is obviously pointless. However, the NL ROY is still up for grabs even though I believe there would be a clear winner if the season ended today.
For me, it's Todd Frazier, with Wilin Rosario coming in second. Whose your ROY?
When he blows his elbow out in September in a meaningless game come back and talk to me about dumb this decision is. But, you are right though, as I don't see why he couldn't have been phantom DL'd and sat out September and been ready for the playoffs.
Nick Noonan: .304 AVG, 6 HR, .362 OBP, .795 OPS, .433 SLG (356 AB)
It's been a long time since the 2007 Draft, but Noonan has finally put together a breakout season as a 23 year old in the PCL. Granted, it's in the PCL, but his numbers shouldn't be scoffed out. Also, Noonan was converted...
I think you are underestimating just how much the CBA has changed things. In the case of Appel, the Pirates can offer him a maximum of $3.84 Millon (Slot being 2.9 Million) wtihout giving up their first next year, so Appel is either going to sign for something close to that or he's going back...
I'm done trying to defend my position. I've allready spoken about his OBP and why it's so low, I'm not going to mention it again. To all the naysayers, answer me this, if Rosario were to continue on his pace and ended up with 25/30 Home runs and around a .250/.275 AVG with an .800+ OPS at the...
"Conveniently forgot?" When I wrote this the other night he had a better OPS the first I heard that Haper had passed Rosario was you stating he had a better one. You accused me of making my stats up, so all I said on the matter was that when I wrote this he had a better OPS, it's as simple as...
I stated in my OP that Harper was going to win the ROY, I'm not denying that. Whether it's the hype behind him, the numbers, or just how important he is to his team the ROY will go to Bryce Harper.The point of this thread was to point out how good a season Rosario is having, and that his...
