The saddest part is I think that only puts you at #3 overall for next year's draft.

I'll have to look more at it, but compare 2018 against 2016 and 2017, which goes to my point that his key metrics are up quite a bit. Twice the number of HRs and OBP, slugging, OPS, and BA are all up significantly vs last year, with only 6 more games played this year. And 2017 compares pretty similarly to 2016 and 2015, though he played a lot fewer games in 2015 with a lot fewer HRs.

Obviously he's having an MVP-calibre year, but you can't say his stats are on-par with previous years.

When Cubs fans say they'd rather take Dusty loving Baker over Joe Maddon you need to take a step back and reevaluate your fandom. What the gently caress is wrong with you?!
Dusty gets a bad wrap. He’s evolved and isn’t the death to pitchers he once was.

Imagine being so bad you get pulled after being put in during garbage time with a 10-4 lead.

Thankfully it's not like Kintzler has a player option for next year that he will absolutely exercise or anythi-ahahahahaha :suicide:

Yeah I don't think Dusty is that bad. Nats were bad this year and it took a lot of bad luck to cost him that NLDS

Not sure how many people here have an Athletic subscription but they had a really good long form interview with him, and according to Dusty the reason the Nats imploded so bad was because they didn't re-sign Werth who despite being not that good on the field was apparently an incredible clubhouse leader and mentor for the young guys. No idea how true that is but that was Dusty's take.
