Tim Tebow is legit doing way, way, way better than I ever thought he'd do in A-Ball, and even then he is a dude who can barely play LF who OPSs .700. His upside is not Willie Bloomquist. It's nowhere near Willie Bloomquist. Willie Bloomquist was a dude who could literally play every single position not named Catcher or Center Field at near league average standards. That's insane. He was never great offensively but his career OPS is less than 50 points lower than what Tim Tebow is doing at Age 29, where is he 7 and a half years older than the average player in Single A ball Tim Tebows upside is a dude who flames out at AA, he should flame out in Single-A but the Mets are a garbage organization who are poor and need the money.

tadashi posted:If he can realistically get on pace for 90, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Reds cut him loose and try for 100, as long as they don't worry about him getting injured. Billy Hamilton is the most frustrating player in the history of baseball because if he had literally one offensive skill other than running fast he would be amazing. I wonder how many players in modern baseball history have stolen more bases than they have drawn walks. It's probably a short list.

Julio Cruz posted:Jeter's a HoFer, but I think it's fair to say he wouldn't be a first-ballot near-unanimous guy if he wasn't a Yankee. His case is based on longevity and counting stats rather than peak performance and the Yankees kept him at/near the top of the lineup for 5 seasons after he'd become a below-average player. Derek Jeter was a "below average" hitter for literally 3 seasons. His first, his last, and 2010. In 2012 he had an OBP of .368 and was the third highest on the team. He was 38.

Julio Cruz posted:I didn't say "below average hitter", I said "below average player". You specifically mentioned batting "him at/near the top of the lineup" which super seems to imply that you were talking about hitting but yea, He was pretty bad at fielding in those later years. Julio Cruz posted:That's exactly my point. Other teams would have cut/benched/at the very least moved down the order a SS that age with that little production, but the Yankees didn't because they wanted him to get 3000 hits to boost his HoF credentials. What on earth does his defense have to do with him batting at the top of the order? He was legit the Yankees best option as a #2 dude, at least until Jacoby got there.

Inspector_666 posted:I mean, he's right that Jeter shouldn't have been hitting in the 2-spot those years but I still fail to see how that reflects poorly on him, he wasn't a player-manager.  Let's take a look. Most managers use OBP as the key factors as to who bats 1/2. 2009: Highest OBP on the team. 2010: No argument here! He is bad! 2011: 4th Highest OBP on the team, behind Gardy (who typically batted first, A-Rod and Swisher) 2012: 3rd Highst OP on the team behind Cano and Swisher 2013: He barely played so who cares 2013: His retirement party. Now, why exactly is it such an issue that he was batting 2nd? Julio Cruz posted:And the Yankees organization in general, yes. My point is that Jeter's HoF case is based on his counting numbers, and the Yankees helped boost those numbers by not benching/cutting him when he was not a very good player any more, and that a non-Yankee Jeter has a much tougher argument for HoF consideration. He is the 10th greatest shortstop in the history of the game by WAR and 14th by JAWS

Oh my god he is between a dude on the hall of fame and another dude who should be in the hall of fame. Call the loving presses we have a story here! You have to know your audience here, dude. People either think that a dude in a hall of famer or not, no one really cares if he is "near unanimous" or not except for the dumbass writers who vote on this poo poo. You know who else should be a near unanimous hall of famer? Curt Schilling, and that dude is a loving rear end in a top hat and I hate him.

Julio Cruz posted:My issue, which I keep having to come back to, is that Jeter's case is better for him having been a Yankee than it would be had he been on another team. This is clearly not his fault and I certainly have never said I blame him for it. yeah but is the difference between him being an 8th ballot guy or a 1st ballot guy really that big of a deal?

Joey Freshwater posted:All this Jeter talk and WAR made me wonder what Chipper's was, since he also spent his entire career with one team (and I'm a dirty homer). Turns out Chipper is 6th all time among third basemen and the only three guys in the top ten NOT in the HOF are Chipper, Adrian Beltre and Scott Rolen, who weren't/aren't eligible for the HOF yet. Chipper and Rolen are eligible this year. Scott Rolen maybe had the most boringly great career.
