>>67380394
Arenado's the better hitter and is just as good defensively, but let's be clear, both are better than Kris Bryant. He is absolutely horrible defensively and people think he's the best third baseman. Hell, even Justin Turner could hit like Bryant and play MUCH better defense.

>>67380453
Wins Above Replacement (WAR) is an attempt by the sabermetric baseball community to summarize a player's total contributions to their team in one statistic. You should always use more than one metric at a time when evaluating players, but WAR is all-inclusive and provides a useful reference point for comparing players.
>>
>>67380453
Just see which number is highest when comparing. The higher the better. That's it. :)

>>67380462

>>67380451
Whi thinks he's the best third basemen? Im a cubs fan and i can easily say he is not comparable to arenado and machado if im being objective. I still wouldnt trade him for either because i have an irrational bias for him being that hes our draft pick and everytbing. But yeah he is no arenado or machado
>>
>>67380453
wOBA is the greatest batting statistic and nothing else really comes close

But they're all true, Anon

You simply can't disprove facts, this is a Cubs fan's classic defense mechanism; denial. Pretty soon you'll go in an even deeper form of denial the minute you don't win the World Series since your fanbase now is a bunch of people who hopped on less than a year ago.

I had no choice but to be a Sox fan unlike you who probably switched teams at some point in your life.

Why embrace being a cuckold, man? White Sox fans unlike Cubs fans have something called pride, and have stuck with the team thick and thin. I've been alive since 1983, it took me 22 years to see my team win an Eries. I'm not saying you'll never see the Cubs win an Eries but there's clearly a lot of former Sox fans who switched last year because the team is now good.

It shouldn't be tolerated, not in Chicago. We're not Bay Area tier bandwagonners and we should not be.

>>
>>67381083
If there's one thing, Cubs fans probably do exist more prevalently since they have that popularity effect, but the White Sox dominate a lot of the Mike North callers and because of that alone, I have to say the Sox take up a pretty good portion of Chicago's beating heart.

Now, in recent times, the Cubs have slowly seeped into most of the talk, but when the Cubs were bad and from 2009-14, most of the baseball talk in Chicago was Sox.

I felt like every year though we had the potential to do something but just kept blowing up too easily. The AL Central other than the Tigers during that stretch for the most part was shit.

Don't get me started on 2012 though.

The best part is, they're finally winning on the road for once. They always start out hot like this, but usually it's cause they're just blowing teams out at Coors. They already have some very impressive road wins (only team to win a series vs. the Cubs). I feel strangely optimistic, but I'm still skeptical as fuck about the pitching staff.

>>67381305
It's been said a bunch of times before but the reason the Cubs have a larger fanbase is because WGN has been broadcasting their games to a much wider audience than the White Sox for ~40 years, plus Wrigley Field is a meme tourist attraction stadium

Cubs are definitely more of a bandwagon team in Chicago. Doesn't mean they don't have a dedicated fanbase
>>
>>67381291
I refuse to have faith in any Rockies "A" pitching prospects though. I'm still salty about Pomeranz and Alex White. Bettis and Chatwood look good but the jury's still out on Gray and Butler. Hopefully Hoffman lives up to the hype.

Fair but I think it's safe to say that Gray and Hoffman have higher upside than Pomeranz or White. Butler has spurts of greatness but Gray's Ks (kek) and Hoffman's general ability have me hype

I think Wolters was a good under the radar pickup. He's handling the pitching staff well, and how often do you have a catcher that can also play the infield?

Also, the Rockies are tied for first place

I didn't even hate the trade at the time, honestly. Pomeranz and White just flopped so hard. It makes me rage seeing Pomeranz do decently well in SD this year.

>>67381703
He's a surprisingly good catcher for someone who's only been doing it for a couple years. Been slumping on offense lately though.

I hadn't been keeping up with him since he was waived but I'm glad to hear he's turning into that ultra utility man I thought he might be.
Plus you guys got the very rare Even Year Raburn too.

I hated when the trade went down cause I thought we gave up way too much (plus weren't close enough to contention to do it). Should've figured though they both were like our other failed/late-blooming pitching prospects at the time.

The only flaw there is that the White Sox have the best record in the AL and third best record overall behind the Cubs and Nationals.

And the cheapest White Sox tickets at retail are four times cheaper than Cubs tickets. (Nosebleed seats at the cell are $5, nosebleed seats at Wrigley are $20.)


One can safely conclude the White Sox just don't have fans in Chicago.

The reason it's Rizzo is because his presence alone on the diamond brings something to the team that cant be quantified with any standard or advanced metrics. It's starting atleast 160 games and never once giving it less than the full effort. Its the motivation he brings to the players around him. Its the fact that he can make a club as good as it can be and still be a humble likeable character on and off the field. If you wana get into the numbers we can talk about how hes hit the most hr in the nl since 2013 or that he has consistantly increased his overall performance since he became a starter for a team that was once awful. He is the kind of guy you build a playoff team around as has been proven and he plays the sport with the right attitude.
