Worth pointing out that this game has a less than 1% chance of meaning anything at all.

It hasn’t even been 48 hours.

Because it’s not 1987

Any one guy doesn’t NEED to be anything. You need the collection of picks to pan out. Counting on anyone guy to do anything out of the draft is a fools errand.

Your expectations of guys out the draft is all out of wack. The average 4th pick has a career WAR around 10.

Guys, not everyone in the lineup is going to have a shot at MVP one day. It’s okay if Madrigal is just okay.

Podsednik and I honestly don’t think it’s close

Setting the over/under for Lopez being out of baseball at 18 months.

Anyone citing the 27 games Grandal has played and the 17 that McCann has played as proof positive that McCann is great and Grandal is shit has absolutely zero idea what they’re saying. period. End of discussion.

Idk if I mentioned it here, but I definitely had conversations where I said there's like a 95% chance a huge chunk of Sox fans hate Grandal even he does exactly what he's done the past few years. His positive traits are quiet, and you kinda have to spend too much time thinking about baseball to appreciate some of them, whereas the negative parts are pretty loud (ie low BA, not particularly spectacular power, blocking issues etc.)

I know, that’s just generally where people want to move him. Same logic applies to 2 and 3 though.

I’ll meet you at 5th. I still think he might be a little too streaky to want penciled in at leadoff.

The value of a steal is pretty much directly proportional to how many home runs/xbh you're team hits. This team hits a ton. Steals may as well be worthless.

I still like Anderson, Moncada, Abreu at the top for now

Yes and Probably not, at least at the start.

I think the Yankees would be wise to let Judge walk when the opportunity arises.

I just want them to win the division so when Chuck inevitably starts talking about ending the playoff drought, it will actually feel like it means something.

All of those things are much more valuable than stealing a base.

They have yet to lay down a sac bunt, as some have predicted for years.

Yeah probably, just the first person who came to mind who was as swing happy.

Robert doing the damage he has, with the plate approach that he has, is legitimately one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. I do not understand how it's possible. He should be like early Javy Baez or something the way he goes about his attack. Instead he's been one of the best players in baseball already. He actually might end up being the best player in baseball.

It is. And I think you may be able to keep him around if you chose. Though he'd be 31 at that point.

I’m surprised they did absolutely nothing, but can’t exactly blame them for not wanting to acquire a backend depth guy after what happened last time.

no pleasing some.

Lol what a take.
