2014 MLB Season Thread

[Mobruler]

The problem with trying to be critical of baseball teams that aren't your own, is that you don't, and never will, understand the team on as intimate of a level as the actual fan whom has been invested in the team.
 
Like I read Mexi's posts here and I just want to facepalm.  Mexi, you don't know what you're talking about and it's okay.  Get better.

I admit, i dont watch al central games at all

But i know kinsler outside of arlington sucks and hes going to a huge home park

Vmart is declining. Hes probably the worst cleanup hitter in the division

 

[elcheato]

Mexi has a point. V-Mart is slower than your average turtle, and he's a singles hitter. Not an ideal guy to be hitting in the middle of your lineup.

 

[Teagz]

.405/.432/.571 in the playoffs last year.
 
 
Regular season numbers were down because he spent the first half of the season getting reaclimated with live pitching. It's hard to jump right back into after be out for a year.

 

[Teagz]

He is slow as shit though lol

 

[Mexi]

Idk whos batting cleanup for chicago
Dunn or abreu

Dunn is maybe worse than vmart if its him and abreu is unknown

So 2nd worse cleanup hitter, maybe

small sample

And his 2011 wasnt too great either, and that was before the injury and a few years younger

Im sure theyll make a trade

 

[Teagz]

He hit .330 in 2011...

 

[Mexi]

Kinsler splits 2011-2013

Road: .231/.303/.387
Home: .306/.389/.505

 

[elcheato]

I'm aware of Joe Mauer and Trevor Plouffe on the Twins. One would guess their cleanup hitter is worse.

didnt walk at all

Look. Hes not bad at all. Solid hitter
Cheato said it though, singles hitter

And ajax 5th? Or torii or kinsler?

Have fun

willing HAM

I'd rather have the rest of Kinsler's contract than Prince's

:kobe:

i never said it was a bad trade
He just wont put up texas numbers

 

[elcheato]

The Tigers could use Ryan Raburn
 
Only half kidding

 

[Mexi]

Tigers could use carl crawford or andre ethier

100% serious

 

[Teagz]

No to all of those lol

 

[Mexi]

Andre batting 5th would be legit

Hell, our 5th ass OF scott van slyke would help

 

[elcheato]

adjusting Ryan Raburn's 243 At bats to 500 at bats, equates to him hitting 33 home runs with 110 RBIs.
 
This is indisputable evidence folks
