Houston, We Have Rule Changes! The Official 2023 MLB Season Thread

Riley Greene just crushed a pitch 450 feet to right field.

Sad a 2nd year player has a better approach at the plate than a 10 year vet

Greene is why I'm so disappointed in Tork. If Greene can make it work in this trash ass lineup, Tork should be able to as well.

He made his impact early with the Marlins but he definitely should go into the HOF with a Tigers cap.

It say seem foolish to suggest he’d choose the Marlins but you never know.

He'll for sure go in as a Tiger. Verlander...I'm not so sure anymore.

Why y’all always talking bout Baez? Kris bryant has been arguably worse since the cubs traded him


Back off my boy

All of them have been underwhelming besides Seager. Shortstops get wildly overrated because of their position. Defense helps but I'm not paying those kinds of salaries unless the guy can carry my offense.

Give me Yordan, Freeman, Olson, Judge, etc. over all of them.

WAR is so ridiculously skewed towards middle infielders. Ha-Seong Kim should not have the same WAR as Ronald Acuna. But he does because he's playing second base instead of right field so he gets a massive positional boost in the formula.

Elite defense at a critical position(he might be better defensively than Baez who was spectacular)with 17 hrs & a 782 ops is underwhelming? Now go look at Correa’s #’s

I’m not even being a homer cuz I initially didn’t want Swanson at all ,but he’s decent.

Bellinger been the cubs best player period

Probably because middle infielders get the most defending opportunities.

If you have a bad middle infielder he costs you a lot of runs.

Right fielders don’t impact the game as much so they don’t hold as much value.
