@GoodFundies Mark Vientos is what Miguel Andujar would’ve become if the Yankees trusted results over underlying metrics

@AnalyticsSaidSo Still, that’s at least 60 or so replacement-level innings completely unaccounted for. That could be big for Ohtani’s career WAR, or for any team that wants to give Michael Lorenzen another chance with the bat

@AnalyticsSaidSo Agreed, though that extra reliever value isn’t as large as you’d think given that he’s functionally the 27th guy on the 26-man. There’s some Tango or Szymborski tweet from a few years ago talking about it (back when the main complaint was the DH positional adjustment)

Shohei Ohtani is on pace to end 2026 with 6.0 WAR as a hitter and 5.7 WAR as a pitcher (per Fangraphs) This 11.7-WAR season would be the 4th-most valuable since 1927, only behind 2001/02/04 Barry Bonds Using Baseball Reference, Ohtani’s pace is ~13.8 WAR

@BauerOutage Even if any MLB team wanted to sign the 35-year-old clubhouse cancer with the longest SA suspension in sports history and 1 good MLB season under his belt without cheating, you’re currently on the IL with no timetable. Who’d want to risk wasting time on your aging body?

@AAll1776 @TheWARmonger_ @BaseballWRLD_ Why do you keep resorting to name-calling? I was looking forward to an intelligent baseball discussion with TheRightGrit :(

@AAll1776 @TheWARmonger_ @BaseballWRLD_ “I’ll never be able to explain it to you” sounds more like a you problem. If it’s so obvious but you’re unable to explain it, maybe you’re just bad at explaining things

@YankeesFiles All that to say, as long as Bellinger stays healthy and plays anywhere close to the pace he’s been as a Yankee (he has a 6.2 WAR/162 for NYY), he could have a sneaky HOF case Also I might need to buy Twitter Premium solely for the increased character limit lol

@PeterAppel23 In the past decade, Byron Buxton has been worth 27.0 fWAR in 811 games, which is 5.4 WAR/162 games. That puts him at about the same pace as Roberto Clemente, Tony Gwynn, Manny Ramirez, Andre Dawson, and Vladimir Guerrero from age-23 to age-32

The Pittsburgh Pirates are the only team with four qualified hitters of a 135 wRC+ or greater: Brandon Lowe, 142 Spencer Horwitz, 142 Bryan Reynolds, 140 Ryan O’Hearn, 137 PIT only had one qualified hitter with a >135 wRC+ from 2016-25 (2021 Bryan Reynolds). What a turnaround

@AndThatsBB Say “velocity is caused when force generated in the legs is transferred through mass in the midsection to momentum in the shoulders and elbows” and people call you a nerd. Say “mass = gas” and suddenly you’re the pitching coach of a 1980s dynasty

@BaseballWRLD_ Btw Votto’s 10th and 11th seasons were 2016 (NL-leading 160 OPS+) and 2017 (167 OPS+ that was two points behind 1st) The only LHH in the last 70 years with a higher Rbat than Joey Votto through age-33 is Barry Bonds. And people act like Votto’s not a clear HOFer

@samueljdanield1 @Ranger2Marchan Neither the Reds nor the Pirates have played in the NLCS in the last 30 years. I don’t think either team’s philosophy should be used as a deciding factor for anything

@bellisbombs @OliverWyner @papa_cole45 And Miz is leading in xHR. Schlittler’s an incredible pitcher and I think he’s clearly top-10. But if we’re picking one guy and saying “he has the talent to be above Cris Sanchez despite the small sample”, it’s the guy that throws harder + an 80-grade slider + 100th pct extension

Is Cam Schlittler the best pitcher in baseball after Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal?

@AnalyticsSaidSo Literally the exact same boat I’m in If you tell me Schlittler wins 2026 Cy Young with an all-time season, I wouldn’t be surprised If you tell me Misiorowski (who throws harder + a 100th-percentile slider + 100th-percentile extension) does that, I’d be slightly less surprised

@PabloPrigioni57 @OliverWyner @bellisbombs Was the question “besides Skenes and Skubal, who is having the best 2026” or “besides Skenes and Skubal, who is the best pitcher in baseball”?
