Machado or Arenado?

[Babypowder]

Yeah. Base running is not really a thing. I'd take Machado for two. Also, as a Cubs fan, I understand why you would like Bryant for five.

You realize this is completely insane, right?

When we played COL and we got to see them both on the same field, Manny looked better to me with the glove.

Yeah. Base running is not really a thing.

Wait. What?

Everyone does realize that Aranado is about to go 40 HR and 130 RBI two years in a row. Manny has never driven in over 86 in a season. Huge difference. I'm still on the fence with this decision. I'm trying not to be biased.

It's a great time for 3B right now. 4 players over 5 fWAR (Bryant, Donaldson, Machado, Longoria) and another 4 over 4 fWAR (Turner, Seager, Rendon, Arenado), with more than 20% of the season remaining. No other position has that many players performing at such a high level.

1.049 OPS at Coors, .799 away. He's a good hitter, but take Coors away and Manny's better.

It's the same reason that Chuck Klein could hit .386-40-170 with an 1.123 OPS in 1930 but was only the 4th-best player in an 8-team NL. All the parks aren't the same.

The Rockies have five players with a .900+ OPS in 400+ PAs and are seven games under .500. The humidor took the park effect from 125-130 to down to 115-120. The run context in Coors today is about the same as the AL in 1996.

Half baked comment from a half baked sports commentator, and OH gets twisted about on it, like a hot pretzel
