  1. 1. How many WAR will Adley Rutschman get in 2023?



Recommended Posts

As president of the Adley MVP campaign, he’s the reason we lost today. He stranded a small army today and hit into two double plays. Almost three. 
 

We all gush over Adley, rightfully so, but today was on him. And we that’s what a real MVP should say in the locker room. And I’m sure he will.

It’s time to acknowledge that he’s getting the Bonds treatment. 

What the version when he was with the Pirates?

Bonds had 43 IBB at age 42 while only playing in 126 games.

Even forgoing the insane madness that was 2004 season Bonds had nine seasons with 30 or more IBB.

I don't think Adley is going to get 30 IBB.

He hit the ball hard nearly every time.  Baseball is a game of inches and they even out over the long haul. The double [lay was a line smash.

Blasphemy!

I'm not sure if Adley and Julio Rodriguez are going to be linked throughout their careers, however in our minds they might be.  I think Adley was the better player last year, he just wasn't up long enough to accumulate enough stats to wrestle the ROY award away from J-Rod.  

And I know J-Rod scuffled to start last year, and he looks like he's scuffling again this year to start, too.  .239/.299/.423.  .721 OPS, 103 OPS+

He will always have an edge over Adley in the age department but I'm curious to see how these two are compared throughout their careers, especially including their peaks.

I think the All Star game and Julio's insane performance in the Home Run Derby is what won him rookie of the year. It was in that moment, that the world was introduced to whom Julio Rodriguez was. Especially going against a future hall of fame hitter like Albert Pujols.

    • I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?
    • I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?  
    • Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.
    • Again, I'm not sure what the point of contention is. They won 91 games and lost in the Wildcard round.  That puts them smack in the middle of what I forecast as their most likely outcome, though I did hope for more playoff success.  I'm not sure how that is proof I misevaluated anything. Further, again, lecturing me about the importance of depth, when I'm one of the biggest hoarders on this board, and you're one of the biggest opposite of that, is ironic to say the least.
    • Aaron Judge whined about it so I’m a fan.  The older I get, the more I think people just exist to look for confirmation biases. In all avenues of life. Paul Simon wrote “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” I’m sure if we beat the Royals and advanced and Walltimore robbed three or four homers from the Royals, we’d be extolling its virtues and how great it is.    But that didn’t happen. If anything, there were a couple instances where, if anything, it worked against us.    So here we are. 
    • I mean I wouldn’t be concerned about her opinions on which FA to sign or which players are best. But, she’s definitely a big fan and is just passing off info given to her. If it didn’t track into some other things that make sense, I wouldn’t pay it much mind. Of course, someone with an agenda could’ve just told her those things to spread rumors. Maybe Rick Dempsey haha.  
    • Do you think any team is too stupid to account for home park dimensions when evaluating pitchers?
