Kris passes 6 fWAR for the 3rd straight year to begin his career. I'm pretty sure he's 6th or 7th all time in WAR through the first three years of a career but I'm not a B-Ref subscriber so I'm not sure I ran the play index correctly and I cant' tell you the names of who is ahead of him. Anywho, this kid is pretty much already an all-time great and we haven't bumped this thread in two months because we fucking suck and are not worthy of him.

I don't know how to do "first 3 years of career" on Fangraphs, but if you go by age 23-25 seasons, he's 21st all time.

Yeah I know he doesn't fare quite as well if you go by age rather than just "first three years of career" because most of the supernatural talents like Bonds, Williams, Mantle, etc started well before 23. But still of those 21, the only ones not in the HOF are active players (Trout and Pujols), two of the greatest players of all time currently blackballed by the league (Bonds and A-Rod), and Grady Sizemore, who was probably a HOFer if he'd stayed healthy. Good company I'd say.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

DPD but man what a damn shame Grady Sizemore's career was. Averaged 6.2 bWAR in his four full seasons through age 25, then played just 419 more games the rest of his career.

Get this negativity the fuck out of the Kris Bryant thread. Why aren't you appreciating him more, you jerk? This is the thread where we appreciate him, not jinx him by bringing up failures. Someone should have told you.

Kris Bryant is what Grady Sizemore should have been. If he played 3rd. And was made of steel.

Troy Glaus had a 15.4 WAR his 23-25 age seasons.

It's pretty funny how many all-time great Chicago athletes only came here because somebody else fucked up their draft ahead of them.

Unless it's a No. 1 pick, doesn't that pretty much apply to every player?

When the Bulls got Jordan, the Rockets got Olajuwon , who was also a Hall of Famer, ahead of Jordan. Not exactly a fuckup.
