Over 100 wRC+ and playing a good CF for long enough to accumulate 31 WAR is a very nice career.
-
What about grit and determination?
-
Fair point about the awards - I would say I wasn't making an argument about greatness, just against mediocrity...

... yeah, all of that and a career wRC+ of 104. I was exaggerating for effect, but on this site of all places are we really going to point to stuff like gold gloves and AS appearances as reasons for greatness?

Roar, if you're referencing Mr. Victorino re: "mediocrity", a quick B-Ref check shows 31 WAR, 4 Gold Gloves, 2 All-Star appearances and 3 years with down ballot MVP votes, along with 2 World Series rings. If that's mediocrity, sign me up.

Scoreboard Porch is now Shane Victorino? I love remembering a guy like the Flyin' Hawaiian, but... why?
-
Yeah, just one of those guys it's better to send home and say come by for a workout in spring. If I want to chance it in 2025 I can probably do that for less than $9.

Manoah - too damaged even for the Commish's Whole Sick Crew. Pitchers - can't win without 'em, can't trust them...

Trying to see if I can make the whole plane out of injured pitchers. My rotation for 2025 could be sick though
-
…oh now my pitchers start actually pitching more consistently haha
-
Overall a quiet trade deadline. Everyone just conceding this season to the Saint?
-
It's weird to suddenly have 11 healthy outfielders to pick from! Even after I dropped Springer.
-
The Angels are putting as many guys on waivers as we are!
-
I like that they're reverse chronological, so I can be reminded of my 5 years of 2nd and 3rd place struggles before finally breaking through one more time :)
-
Ottoneu Overlord Niv got rid of the trophies, replacing them with flags for championships because, and I quote, "flags fly forever". While that may be, I preferred the trophies, though it is nice to see the medals for 2nd and 3rd place etc.

If I had a little trophy next to my name, then Megadeth's "We'll be back" would be the '24 walkup. But since I don't I guess I'll search for another.

Good or bad timing, someone starting an auction on Kyle Gibson right before he threw his best start of the year?
-
Ohtani had a great season. Bummer to see the injury. Bad timing in so many ways.

Ohtani's elbow!! *sob*

I like this auction way as well... just throwing out a twist.
-
exactly rime - I play in a league that you blind nominate players on Sunday and Wednesday and blind bid - sometimes you sneak a good player through, but other times there is a bidding war... but the extra parameter is "how much should I bid" on my nominee... should I bid $1 or $2 or is everyone onto this guy that they just called up... and I need to go higher... its rather funny sometimes because you second guess yourself as well!
-
Also kinda funny that Schanuel isn't eligible at 1B because he only played 17 games there in the minors.
-
For a moment I was like, "isn't that how it works?" thinking you meant one where the minimum bid was $7 from a cap penalty. But no, you mean on a player where you bid $7 and it would currently give you the player at $1 if no one else bids. I see that, but I like the way it is, more like an auction where you only have to go to the next-highest bid +$1
-
I realize that this is different; but, I really wish the league was set-up for blind initiation and blind auction and whatever the bid is is what you pay, so if you put a guy out there and you bid $7, and noone else bids the guy is $7... it makes for a better experience where you bid what you think they player is actually worth and defeats the over bidding process - fwiw. :)
-
love it, NOLAN SCHANUEL goes for $17 :) $20 for next year!
-
SHANE MCCLANAHAN for trade if interested… TJ surgey but if you want to take a chance on an ace, lemme know.
-
true around the angels - been tough sleddin

The The Angels Angels/Los Los Angeles Angeles are 60+ years into a narrative littered with disappointing angles.

Drafted two months ago and shoved onto the stage. Oh, the desperation in Ohtaniland.

Sorry about the McClanahan news, mate
-
Wish I’d gotten Kikuchi 10minutes earlier to start him!
-
McClanahan - hopefully not TJ…
-
And yet... 7th place.
-
correction, Shohei is THE cheat code!
-
Shohei is a cheat code!
-
Having Shohei in a league allowing 2-way use is such a treat
-
Romano and Hader at ~$10 are fine deals. But what about Fairbanks at only $3? Visit my trade block for that and more!
-
You should be a fun one to watch, Rime. Good luck to you both.
-
Luciano debut! I don't expect him to be as immediately electric as some of the other rookies this year, but here's hoping for the best!
-
If anyone needs a good relief pitcher both Romano and Hader both at good salary points are available for two very good prospects for either one
-
Oh my, the 9-mil man enters the arena.
-
I guess I'm not surprised given how bad my starters have been lately
-
Low-scoring football action in MLB yesterday: 16-13, 17-3, 11-10, 11-10, 10-3, 10-3. Teams need to throw the ball better...
