Here is a simple question.

Who would you rather have? (Only listing young core players, listed by OPS, over .700 only)
Gallo or Altuve
Mazara or Springer
Andrus or Correa
DeShields or Bregman

Looks like clean sweep for Houston.


This doesn't even make sense, which makes sense coming from you. You're comparing players at different positions.

If I were to rank them today:

Altuve
Correa
Springer
Mazara
Andrus
Odor
Gallo
Bregman
Deshields

No denying the Astros have a lot of young talent. My point was that to say the Rangers need a complete rebuild is an over exaggeration

If it wasn't for the one game against the Astros this chump would be under the Medoza line.

He was last year at this time as well and look what happened. Oh yea I forgot, the first 2 months of the season are all that matters to Stros fans.

Are you kidding? Please tell me what Bregman has done to be ranked over Odor.

The Astros want the Rangers to rebuild so they close the gap in that overall record

Even with your obvious bias you know the top 3 are the top 3 and head and shoulders above your core of average.

I'll give you Altuve and Correa. However, eventhough springer has played a lot longer, Mazara and Springer are not far apart.

Maybe. I like Mazara.

Keep in mind Springer's career OPS is higher than your future HOF 3rd baseman's career OPS. He's just now entering his prime.

Does Frisco not have a helmet that fits Napoli? Looks like him and Gomez will be back soon. That is good news for the Stros.

The commercial for Frisco had a Rougned Odor giveaway. Did they say it was a bobblehead or bobbleHAND? Not sure which Rougned it is for.

Gomez>>>> Hoying and a better defensive outfielder than anyone on the Astros roster.

Napoli can stay his ass in Frisco.

well for one thing, he's a plus defender instead of a liability in the infield


but I also missed the "as of today" qualifier. Of course odor has done more than a guy who is at the 1 composite season in the league mark.

I'm well on the record in saying I don't want a rebuild. I want a "go for it" mentality every year for the next 5 years, minimum.

Gomez a better outfielder than Springer? Or Marisnick? Collin McHugh would disagree as do I.

Gomez is a slightly above average defender. Slightly.

jake Marisnik is 2x the defender.

So Astros fans can use the experience excuse when comparing Odor/Bregman, but Rangers can't use it for Gallo/Springer? Cool.

This is going to sound convenient but I DGAF. Fangraphs defensive metrics do not account for the shift. So they're basically garbage. FieldF/X is not public yet, but it tells a true story.

Not a troll. Bregman has the offense to easily outhit Andrus. Bregman has a .276 BABIP and Andrus has a .336 BABIP. Bregman will end the season with a higher WRC+.

Odor hit 33 homers to a 106 wRC+ because he's absolutely allergic to a walk with god awl*** defense on top.. He'll always be overrated and I couldn't be happier he'll likely be the Rangers 2nd baseman for a long time.

Comparing Altuve and Odor is stupid, and isn't exactly a fair comparison One is a batting champ, all-star, and gold glove winner. The other simply isn't, and will probably only be 1 of those 3.

In no world is anyone seriously saying Odor is better than Altuve

Lol at Bregman over Andrus. Elvis was an all star at 21, Bregman is 23 and still figuring out the big leagues.

All Star at 21 huh? WTF happened then?

Career wRC+
Bregs 104
Elvis 87

Career OPS
Bregs .755
Elvis .697

Hard Contact
Bregs 31.4%
Elvis 23.8%

Obviously, we're looking at less than 500 plate appearances for Bregman, but there is no reason to believe he won't keep improving. Elvis is in his 9th year. He went from below average player to above average player, but he'll never be more than just that.
