Waino is the first Cardinal in the modern era to homer in a victory and have his RBI tally equal the team’s total runs scored (also a shutout). Cool stat! Pitcher dingers!

He's not the face of the franchise anymore (it went from him to Lucroy, and now Thames is), he's always hurt, and his performance has fallen off big time. lmao at Thames, a 30 year old guy who is signed for three years and had one great month, being the face of the franchise. Ryan Braun, 127 OPS+ since the PED incident has had his performance fall off big time. I don't defend him as a person, but dude can hit.

And the second part just isn't true, at all. Poque posted:that's fine but we're talking about comparative performance for a single player. When healthy he is still an extremely impactful player but you can't just laugh off injury concerns, they add up And I'm arguing the injury concerns aren't as big of a deal as a lot of people make them out to be. Literally only 25 other players got the PA's in the outfield he did. So much for being injured constantly.

Which is why I go on and on about how I think Ryan Braun is actually a pretty drat good hitter. Sorry for the derail. He sucks a bunch (as a human).

I dunno, he was a top 5 prospect. I don't think the businesses that are MLB teams would just give up on that because of domestic violence. It's a lovely business. He's 23 and literally got MVP votes last year. Not trying to downplay domestic violence, at all, but I think you forget that a lot of rich people don't give a poo poo and want to win.

Hot take: Lance Lynn is better than all three of those pitchers, and will probably be available. Although only a ~2 month rental, while the guys you mention would be longer term trades.

Beltran never led the league in anything. But to be fair, he certainly should have had an MVP-2 in 2006. Beltran is a really, really, really good player. I think he should be in the hall, but if he just plays three more years he will be a lock with 3k hits  Also, Carlos Beltran has more games and PA's with the Mets than the Royals and was probably the best part of his career.

Pancakes posted:Watching the Cardinals continue to fail miserably makes me wonder, do they have any pieces that they could sell at the deadline for a decent return? Oh, Rosey, Lynn or Gyorko seem like the possible candidates but I have no idea what their demand could be. Lynn, Rosey, and Oh certainly. Please don't get rid of Gyorko. He still has a 3/29 left and has been one of the better players the last year and a half. They desperately need to revamp the bullpen. Waino is certainly dead, but Reyes is back next year and Flaherty seems to be performing very well this year. Everyone that should be hitting IS hitting right now, it just happens that the whole pitching staff also decided to suck, real bad (besides C-Mart). I don't think they are winning anything at all this year, so I'd rather get rid of those three guys sooner than later for maybe some random lucky prospects. Mike_V posted:Do you think Mo views the Cards as sellers? Would ownership allow ~THE CARDINALS~ to be sellers? I sure as hell hope he does in his own mind. But not a seller as in "we need to rebuild" sellers. The Cardinals are sellers that need to rebound next year by preferably firing Matheny and revamping the pitching.

Probably a lot of "hey this guy gets on base at an extraordinary rate at all the levels he has been at" too. I wouldn't really call it a breakout season, as he did pretty much the same thing OPS wise in 2016 as well. Also he was a 3rd round draft pick, so he is obviously highly thought of with the Cubs. Also, 24 years old isn't "old" for AAA. Also he's the Cubs 6th ranked prospect.

To be fair this happens everywhere when they announce a pride night. Even the Seattle twitter had some hot takes when they announced pride night (which was last night). https://twitter.com/Mariners/status/873662569717936128 The internet is a bad, bad place for hot takes about social issues that largely don't affect others.

I was looking into back to back RoY performances from the same team, didn't think it happened much, but I was wrong. 1992: Eric Karros LAD 1993: Mike Piazza LAD 1994: Raul Mondesi LAD 1995: Hideo Nomo LAD 1996: Todd Hollandsworth LAD Athletics and Dodgers also hit three in a row. Several teams have hit back to back RoY's. Sasaki and Suzuki were back to back for the Mariners. Totally forgot about Sasaki, he owned.
