MLB 2018.2: Postseason, Free Agency, and Awards

I don't think Babe Ruth was the best ever at his position, and I'm not sure I've heard anyone else ever argue that. Larger than life personality? Sure. Greatest home run hitter of his generation? Sure.

The same holds true for Griffey, who someone else mentioned. Would I put Griffey, Jr. in the HOF? Absolutely. Can I see a voter somewhere arguing that he rarely if ever got his team to the post-season and when he did, he had mixed results? Sure. Do I think Ken Griffey, Jr. was the greatest to ever play at his position? No.

Babe Ruth deserves to be in the HOF. I do not believe he was the best position player of all time. I’m not even sure he was the best player on his team.

Heard a stat on a morning show today: more people have walked on the moon than have scored an earned post-season run against Rivera. That's just insane.
 
Re: MLB 2018.2: Postseason, Free Agency, and Awards

Yep.

Twelve men walked on the moon. Eleven scored earned runs in the postseason against Rivera.

Fify. Haven't heard that expression in years.

That was from the man that espoused:
"God created the sun, the stars, the heavens and the earth, and
then made Adam and Eve," Everett said last Friday, before the Red
Sox lost two of three in Atlanta. "The Bible never says anything
about dinosaurs. You can't say there were dinosaurs when you
never saw them. Someone actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever
saw a Tyrannosaurus rex."

What about dinosaur bones?

"Made by man," he says.

Big deal. Only three people have scored World Series-winning runs for the Cubs. And Rivera ain't one of 'em.

Mariano had 141 IP in the post-season and 36.1 in the WS, with an ERA of 0.70 and 0.99 respectively in each. And he was a career 0.984 fielder. iirc he has the highest all-time WAR for a reliever and is 77th overall for P. As a reliever. 1st in saves while 4th in appearances. btw the Yankees first signed him as an amateur free agent. :eek:

Turned down a higher AAV with the White Sox (1.25M/yr) for two extra years.

It's a futures bet. Assume he's got 7 solid years and the 3 at the end are freight cost. The bet is a 2026 star will cost more than 43M a year. That seems... tenuous.

Padres payroll only up to 110mm. They could get Harper too.

The internet would break. That kid Yankees fans head would explode.
