You're making a lot of assumptions. If he were an addict, would you say he doesn't care enough to get clean?Stros Schadenfreude said:
Tyler's weight doesn't bother me as much as what his weight says about his attitude towards mastering his profession. He's on the cusp of being a valuable MLB player and being a never-was.
Say what you want about his weight, but it can't be helping him and makes him a huge liability on the base paths. He also has to know this and doesn't care enough to shed 40-50 and get in great shape. That's what bothers me about him. These are the most crucial years of his career; where a great season or two might mean the difference of 50-60 million dollars over his lifetime; and he can't put the nachos away.
Tyler White and Yuli Gurriel have a nearly identical career OBP & SLG (and obviously OPS).bearkatag15 said:gougler08 said:dshedd14 said:
Tyler White is a good player in my opinion. He just is going through a rough patch now.
Debatable at best
Not even debatable. The dude had 1 good week and another good month in his career. Take those out and you have Jon Singleton

No doubt about it, and that's not my point.bearkatag15 said:
Also, you are saying that a 3 year sample of Yuli at the end of his career represents what his true career number would have been if he were in the MLB during his prime. Guarantee you his numbers at age 25-28 would greatly surpass Whites at that age.

Guys, stop fat shaming Tyler, he just has a thyroid problem.
My view hasn't changed. It made sense baseball wise. It was a steal. He served his time with baseball and the courts handed things so he is being allowed to play. I don't have to like him. I don't want players that beat women on the Astros regardless of how good they are.AustinCountyAg said:
Soooo is everyone still pissed and mad at the astros organization for getting Osuna?
That bottom button on Tyler looks like it's about to have a higher exit velocity than most of his hits.bearkatag15 said:
Yuli in his prime

it was an awkward moment on the broadcast last night when they showed the clip of Julia's being the guest-speaker at Union Station for the Astros foundation domestic violence fundraiser

My opinion on Osuna would greatly change if he came out admitted his mistakes, talked about turning over a new leaf, asked for forgiveness, etc.and then showed he was different. He became a guest speaker at an event like that.W said:

I'm all about forgiveness, but I feel like Osuna was able to work the system and got a very minimal punishment for a terrible act.
Quote:
When he did, Osuna addressed the team in English after Hinch introduced him. The manager told Osuna he was "really lucky" to be an Astro, given the cohesiveness of the club and how it would "hold him accountable to the levels of everything that encompasses" it.
"I thought it was incredible," Hinch said of Osuna's ensuing address. "I thought it was the perfect tone, perfect temperament. "But his actions post-meeting over the last six, eight, 10 months have proven the words that he said in (Los Angeles) were exactly who he is and how he's going to be."
...
Last week, reliever Chris Devenski lost a foosball bet with his bullpen mate. To atone for it, Devenski donned Osuna's game jersey during pregame warmups in Arlington.
"We do everything together as a team. We have one of the closest knit groups imaginable. In my 20 years in the league, this is one of the closest groups of guys I've been around," Hinch said. "It doesn't surprise me that they embraced him and pushed him to be a good person, a good player and a good teammate."
I agree, if the allegations are 100% true. His light sentence indicates otherwise.Farmer1906 said:My opinion on Osuna would greatly change if he came out admitted his mistakes, talked about turning over a new leaf, asked for forgiveness, etc.and then showed he was different.
