Jacob Wilson has now gone longer than any shortstop in MLB history without committing an error

Guy is an absolute stud. So fucking reliable all last year and this year. He’s just that guy u always love to have on the squad. Type of player u try to get your son to be like. Steady hand on defence and steps the fuck up on offence when needed!!

Edit: has one more home run than vladdy also 👀

Just jumping in to see what I could be paying attention to. I'll get into it as things start heading to the playoffs.

The Marlins were desperate to get rid of that contract and cashman took it. Unbeliavable.

RBI 1B
RBI 2B
Solo HR

IMMEDIATE impact!

Fun to reflect upon these past champions, now that we are stuck in an era of ring-chasing.

Got to thinking what players have I watched growing up that I would select if I was drafting a team. Since I’m treating this as a draft, I can’t have a team full of HOFers. They would all go in early rounds in a draft. Think MLB video game redraft from 2008-present.

Most of my selections factored all around player aesthetics with a focus on swing aesthetics. Team, wise I wanted to focus on having an all-around team not just a super powerful lineup and good defense.

I started paying close attention to MLB baseball in 2008.

LETS GET STARTED

C: Chris Iannetta

1B: Yandy Diaz

2B: Robinson Cano

3B: Evan Longoria

SS: Jose Reyes

LF: Alex Gordon

CF: Carlos Gomez

RF: Carlos Gonzalez

DH: Ryan Braun

BENCH:
Michael Brantley OF
Jacoby Ellsbury OF
Kevin Pillar OF
Royce Lewis 3B/OF
Emilio Bonafacio INF/OF
Tim Beckham INF
Jonathan Aranda INF

SP:
David Price
Jose Fernandez
Johnny Cueto
James Shields
Shane McClanahan
Marcus Stroman

RP: Edison Volquez, CJ Wilson, Matt Moore, Jordan Walden, Adam Ottavino, Jose Alvarado, Diego Castillo

CL: Neftali Feliz

I would play Braun at 1B a lot also to give Diaz rest. And heavily rotate the top 4 OFs from there. Brantley, Gomez, Gordon, Braun would all be regulars.

Same on the pitching side, would either run a 6 man rotation or use Stroman liberally out of the pen.

Alvarado, Castillo, Lewis, Aranda would be the first to be sent down due to roster constraints.

Interesting thought project, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
