tend to agree
Willi has been real good
TOM still around .400
Hello Newman/Up goes Frazier/Ke'Bryan
Both Bobbys
Biggie
Chavis
Ty France
Josh Bell
Seager
Baddoo
Gallo

For pitchers I like Fastball Freddy, Logan Webb, Daulton Jeffries and everyone competing for 5th starter for NYY. Also DeGrom, Sandy, Burnes and Rodon maybe.

Not a great stat line for camp but Teoscar seems to be evolving a bit into a more patient slugger. 7bb 9k. If this is a permanent type of ratio for him going forward it makes them that much more dangerous with some thunder around him. Jays offensive potential is pretty ridiculous right now.

Just hit another HR so far against the Yankees and walked as well in his second AB.

BigSlim16 · 03-24-2021, 01:25 PM

Second homer of the day for Bo!

It's absolutely mind boggling that that alone isn't enough. Golden boy Mike Trout hasn't even accomplished that.

We think alike. This didn’t go over well when I said it a few months ago, but I think Andruw’ HoF chances would have been better if he would have retired at 32. Not saying he would be in yet, but he would have been viewed more favorably because people didn’t have the awful last seasons to drag down the great numbers.

Luis Robert may very well have a great career. I am not dogging him like some others are. But he is not Andruw Jones. Even with a successful career it will be a different kind of success. Again, he is not Andruw Jones.

He isn't comparable with his defense (few are) and he has a different kind of bat.

Dale Murphy has 2 MVPs 5 GG and over 2000 hits.
He also has more SB, TB a higher BA career and he’s not in the HOF. I’m not saying Jones wasn’t a very good player, but Gold Gloves don’t make a HOF either. There a lot of great defensive players not in the HOF. There many 430 HR guys who aren’t HOF too.

Fred McGriff
Carlos Delgado
Adam Dunn
Jose Canseco

Gary Sheffield has 509. I don’t care about credibility, but those are facts. Maybe Jones gets in eventually, but Robert still has plenty of time to develop into an elite MLB player.

Austin Riley with 2 massive homers today. Those poor baseballs.

Josh bell and Ryan Zimmerman in beast mode

But Andruw Jones wasn’t a great defensive player. He was arguably the best of all time.

A) Gold gloves do make HOFers. See my example of Ozzie Smith.
B) Those HR hitters you mentioned didn't have the 10 straight gold gloves.

Use are using two half arguments in a combined fashioned to make one whole argument. Can't do that. You have to look at the whole picture. Hence the........Luis Robert isn't Andruw Jones.

So why isn’t he a 1st ballot HOF?

Or 2nd
Or 3rd
Or 4th

If he’s so great of a player why only 40% of the vote? Surely the writers would appreciate him more.

I’m not saying he’s a first ballot hall of famer myself. I’m just saying, he’s not a great defensive player. That’s selling him way short

And writers don’t know what they’re doing.

The last 6 years of his career Andruw Jones wasn’t Andruw Jones. His career died quickly after leaving ATL. That’s not a half argument. Great players don’t fade that many years. Yea defensive awards are great, and 10 straight is incredible. But writing a guy like Robert off after a half season is ridiculous.

Dude is a beast, may have given my man Mondi a run for the League Lead in Triples if he was still an Indian

Edit: Disregard above post, he has never hit a triple during reg season and is projected to hit 0 triples in 2021
