Yup. I have no interest in Moncada.Farmer1906 said:All I do is Nguyen said:Didn't we learn our lesson form the LAST ChiSox infielder we signed?texasaggie2015 said:

Moncada is about a "meh" as it gets. Might as well just roll with Dubon.
If that's the path we go, we better make significant improvements at 1B and add to the OF.

Brent had a great year and was close, but Yordan was clearly better.
https://stathead.com/tiny/tSAL2Quote:
Just an FYI, Yordan has a better oWAR per baseball ref (the site you used). Rooker catches him mainly due to defense. I am not sure that should factor into DH SS.scrimp said:
Yordan vs Rooker 2024
WAR, HR, RBI, and SB favors Rooker.
Hits, BA, OBP, SLG, OPS+ favors Yordan.
Eh, I'd think Yordan deserved it, but it doesn't seem to be an egregious snub.

Seems obvious that many still care about the traditional counting stats the most.
Source: The Pirates have hired Brent Strom as an assistant pitching coach. He will work from the dugout during games. The club will appoint someone else to coach from the bullpen. That move has yet to be made.

Remind me again why we couldn't keep him? Could have sworn he was going to retire or something
Yordan needs to basically never get hurt again and be an automatic .300 35 HR 100 RBI guy if you think he's going to make the Hall of Fame. Needs a couple of regular season MVPs or at least one and a WS MVP as well. So far in his career he's led the league in ZERO categories for a season.houag78 said:
Yordan will be a HOF. Rooker had a good year, but not in same league as YA.

Since 2000 - Career wRC+
1. Bonds 203
2. Judge 173
3. Trout 169
4. Alvarez 168
5. Soto 158
As long as he keeps hitting like he is. He'll get in. Just gotta keep it up.

Alec Bohm apparently on the trade block. Any interest if we don't re-sign Breggy?
