bewbies posted:Is Salvy's season the worst ever in which a player won both a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger? Without looking up any hard stats, I think it mostly is this: Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:Perez won because he was basically the only qualified catcher lol. I mean I love Salvy, he is amazing defensively. Considering he missed some time this year, he still hit a good amount of homers for his position. But it probably comes down to voters looking at the list and going "uhh, yeah, out of the available options, that guy who usually wins I guess".

His Silver Slugger at DH was well deserved, but he won the Gold Glove for 1B while only playing 28 games at that position.

According to StatCast, Pujols is actually a little faster in running to first base than Brian McCann. How is Pujols faster than anyone at this point? https://twitter.com/darenw/status/1060653851198545921 He says in the subtweets that this is based on 5 ft splits, whatever that is.

bawfuls posted:I can't find the piece right now, but awhile back I read an interesting column that argued every team should be running at a slight loss annually, because the value in sports franchises is their enormous appreciation. I can understand that, but at the same time, what owner wouldn’t be a penny-pinching miser and turn a massive profit until such time as the team DOES sell. Consider it like renting a real estate investment before flipping it or collecting the dividends on stock while it’s held. It’s hard to believe that isn’t Loria’s MO from the get-go, and that’s essentially how capital firms operate: buy low, gut absolutely everything of value, then sell high based on hype and branding to another group doing the same thing.

The only thing I could see making that work for the Yanks would be like Andujar/Torres/Sheffield. You'd have to give up cost-controlled, good talent plus a high level prospect for someone like Bryant. Doesn't make sense when you can get Machado for only money.

That's just clickbait. I think Theo said nothing is ever off the table, but obviously people like Bryant, Rizzo, and Baez would be extremely unlikely to move.

The true reason the Cubs aren't spending is because they're going to burn it all down and tank again, I guess.

I think Theo was just being pedantic. Of course there is no such thing as an untouchable player. If you offered Trout for Bryant straight up every GM in the league would take that. But that's likely never going to happen so "it's hard to envision a deal that would move Bryant/Rizzo".

Yeah, but I got amusement out of Padres Twitter rushing to explain which ones of our prospects they wouldn't trade for Kris Bryant.

Cleveland is pathetic. They slither into the playoffs year after year since the AL Central is unabashed garbage, get smoked by superior teams, and instead of investing to address their poo poo outfield and make a genuine run for the title they strip payroll confident that they can still float in past their awful division-mates, guaranteeing yet another ALDS stomping. Disgraceful.

I do genuinely wonder how these discussions start though. I mean, Cleveland doesn’t have to do a goddamned thing. They’re going to get to the post season for at least one more year. How much do they have to offer for the Cleveland FO to take it seriously?

I don't know why Cleveland would want 1 year of Puig. In reality I'd like the Dodgers to target one of those pitchers for Verdugo and whatever smaller pieces get thrown in.

Brantley is good and has been good forever, but the rest of them were certainly the weak part of their offense. But, scoring runs wasn't really an issue for them. It was scoring enough runs to get by their horrible bullpen.
