I guess I'd kinda be on board with him. What's the point? Ok, so he's no longer an MVP caliber player and should be our #5 hitter, but he's still pretty good towards the end of his career. I think his point was more that it's not exactly a "hot take."

 

That is one of those takes where you kinda nod your head while sighing. Kinda like everyone knows this, but it sucks to admit it. It's depressing to read it, and as fans, it's nice to put on blinders once in a while, even when most know what is going on.

 

Every week for 3+ years? Again, what's the point?

I agree with you. Completely.

I guess I'd call him more "barely adequate" than "pretty good", but I digress.

 

What's the point? Well, what's the point of any player discussion? Aren't we constantly stating the obvious regarding player performance?

 

I guess I'm just not sure why people are hypersensitive to criticism of Braun moreso than any other player. I mean, it's not even like I said the guy is junk. People state the obvious every day -- Aguilar has been junk this year -- Shaw looks lost at the plate -- Cain has really struggled this season, etc etc, and no one really cares. But the obvious gets stated on Braun, and people are really, really sensitive to it. Even when it's not done in really all that insulting of a way.

Holy hyperbole. :rolleyes Every week for 3+ years. Give me a BREAK. Posters generally tread lightly on Braun compared to other guys on this roster in regard to criticism.

 

Goodness, people bagged on Villar almost every single day when he was here.

Can I laugh at Braun for acting like that pop up was going to be 20 rows out of play only to have it in play by a good amount? Just want to know the standard as I don’t want to offend.

Braun is hitting around .270. In an era where superstars hit under .250, he’s still doing well. His bat is the least of our worries.

 

 

He’s definitely playable. No doubt

 

He’s going to hit 20 hrs this year. I can live with that

Braun is hitting. 264. I don't know what superstars are hitting under .250, but a 270 batting average is a bad bar to use to judge his performance.

 

I never said his bat is a huge concern. Again, people just don't want to hear it a hint of negativity on Braun.

The difference between watching Will Smith and Alex Claudio pitch is mind boggling.

 

What was your thoughts in Xavier cedeno last year?

 

I wasn’t that impressed with him as a loogy either

 

To be honest I’m kind of done with loogys in general in this new era

Coming into today lefties has a .526 OPS off Claudio, so he's doing what he's always done. We just traded for him to be something more and he's just not that guy.

 

I hope that is all ok to say about Claudio as I realize it's rather obvious.
