The Official 2024 MLB Season Thread

[Trust Me]

Every time I see this it cracks me up.

I'll say this...the Mets might not be as good as the Yankees but they can be a hell of a lot more fun.

Granted I think Bonds is a hall of famer straight up. You have to wonder if he did 10 years in Pit and then 12 in SF would the voters have treated him differently. He'd have likely just been under 1500Hs 300 HRs and over 300 SBs as just a Pirate. That's also accounting for one of those years being the Strike year. Would have had him 21-31 as a Pirate and 31-42 as a Giant.

He has a chance to go 50/50.

Amazing!

He one of the worst aces I’ve seen in awhile.

He was a 2 time MVP in his 7 years with the pirates anyway. His case was basically ironclad by 1998-99.

Might have to pick him back up in my keeper league. I had draft rights to him, might as well scoop him back up before someone pays attention and grabs him back.

Shoulda been three. That Pendleton vote was a travesty.

I'm not sure I see it with Pete Crow Armstrong.
Defensively he looks as ready as he will ever be.
At the plate, there's a lot of work to do. But he's only 22 years old so I suppose if he gets stronger...and with more experience, he could be a good player.

It's all relative. I don't see a superstar ceiling. But not everyone can be Acuña or Betts or guys like that.

I don't think he's going to be the superstar some of the scouts initially projected on him.
He's already showing double digit homer/double digit steal skills (I'm thinking he's going to be a 15-20HR/30SB guy). If he can improve his slash and cut down the K's he's going to be a solid player and that's really more than you can get out of most.
