If he can't duplicate 2019 #'s then he should be a hard pass at $30M.TXAggie2011 said:I mean, he's a one-time All Star but has also finished in the top 6 of MVP voting 3 of the last 6 seasons, was 11th an additional season, and has two silver sluggers.Quote:
A one-time All-Star?
He's had a very nice career and should continue to have a very nice career.
I did say earlier I wouldn't expect him to put up 2019 numbers, but he's a darn good player.
I'm sure he'll get overpaid, but that's baseball. Everyone is getting "overpaid."
Rendon Career OPS = .859
Choo Career OPS = .826
Rendon OPS if you take out 2019 = .833
We raise hell about Choo being overpaid . . .
We pay Lynn and Minor $10M - $12M and get nice returns. Their productivity was the only reason we didn't go 60-102 last year. For this money, this guy better be Beltre reincarnated, and Beltre didn't make anywhere near that kind of money.
Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. But this sounds like the same old stupid Rangers tricks.
Maybe I pulled too old an reference here...

I have reservations too, but if we are going to make a splash, I want this to be it. Nothing is guaranteed (except the contracts) but Rendon is a top 3 (maybe 2) 3rd baseman.
You could also take out the first few years of his career and have better OPS numbers. You can't cherry pick. I wonder if everyone will regress next year if the league goes back to the old baseball.

Could you help us get discounts or recommend the right seats to get?AccidentProne said:

Well I didn't take out the first couple of years of Choo's OPS numbers either. I was just going off the premise to not expect Rendon's 2019 #'s but his previous seasons.Fuzzy Dunlop said:

I'm going to stop arguing about this like it matters. I'll still follow them regardless. But living in Houston, I'm sick of rooting for Boston, NYY, Dodgers, Nats to beat them.
Splash signings mean jack squat. Nationals whiffed on the biggest name last year, were left for dead, and won the WS.
I feel your pain. I'm in League City.

Poop slap and/or free tickets?
Some would argue that they won the WS because they lost out on that big free agent signing. I'm not saying that's the case, I have no idea, but it has been discussed among MLB insiders.
Ultimately I'm like you. I would be a terrible GM because of the exorbitant amounts these guys make. At the end of the day, these guys are entertainers and get paid what the market will bear. With these crazy payrolls, I'm not sure how teams make money but they obviously do.
Also, I like the discussion. I'm not trying to shout you down. I agree more with you than you think.

Rendon is only overpaid if you compare him to older generations before inflation. He's a top of the market 3B in his prime so you have to pay the price to get that type of talent. Otherwise you become the Rays trading an MVP caliber player for "Renfroe and a damn slapdick prospect."
The key is making that pay count by ensuring it's spent on a guy that produces. It's the Arte Moreno splurges on crap that kill you. I think Rendon is a guy that makes it count.

I read that article last week. That dude has a weird obsession with the Red/Blue team thing.
I don't think we are grateful enough for AP.
This is ****ing bull***** **** the Angels
Sorry everyone

Angels, Anthony Rendon In "Active Talks"; Rangers Out
December 11th, 2019 at 8:41pm CST By Connor Byrne
8:41pm: The Rangers are out of the race, according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News.
8:29pm: The Angels are engaged in "active talks" with free-agent third baseman Anthony Rendon, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. They're "working hard" to sign him, per Jon Heyman of MLB Network, while Rosenthal adds that the Angels are hoping to finalize a deal tonight.
With the Dodgers seemingly drifting from the Rendon race, it may come down to a pair of AL West rivals to sign the longtime Washington superstar. The Rangers remain in the mix, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Jeff Wilson, who notes that they've met with Rendon's agent, Scott Boras, once during the Winter Meetings.
Wonder if the Cole deal launched a new level of Arte Moreno insanity. Like 10 years $350-400 mill
Would not shock me to see 6 for 38
I guess the next move is Donaldson. Going to be difficult to root for him but I guess I'll try.
Being an Aggies and Rangers lifer is hard.
