Javier Baez 2014 ROY-MVP-World Series MVP Thread

[Quality Start Machine]

2.7 fWAR in just 435 PAs seems good. He's 6th on this team in position player WAR (Bryant/Rizzo/Russell/Fowler/Russell/Zobrist), but he's 45th overall in the NL as a part time player. Cardinals Franchise Savior Who Is Better Than Kris Bryant According to Trueblood Stephen Piscotty has managed 2.7 fWAR in almost 200 more plate appearances. Matt Carpenter Who Is Also Better Than Kris Bryant has managed 2.8 fWAR in about 100 more plate appearances.

Some more digging...Javy would rank second on the Cardinals to Carpenter, third on the Mets (just a half win behind leader Cespedes at 3.2), second on the White Sox behind Eaton, and he would lead the A's, Royals, and Yankees in position player fWAR. He's a utility player on this team. God damn.

If Soler can't answer the bell for the NLDS, Baez gets to start. The depth of this team is insane.

Or, god help me, Coghlan, who now *vomits* has *vomits some more* managed to *coughs up lung* put up a 114 wRC+ and a .395 OBP as a Cub so far *passes out*

Either Bryant or Zobrist in LF with Baez taking their place in the infield will be the option Joe will go with, as the games will count once again.

Probably, but Joe does like Coghlan a lot, or else he wouldn't still be on the roster. Coghlan is slashing .304/.420/.446/.867 since the break. I'm just preparing myself so that when I see Coghlan listed in the lineup for game 1 of the NLDS I don't immediately go for the razor blades.

That's funny that you think we'd believe you own a razor.

Hardest hit basket shot in history.

DPD. Fuck Johnny Cueto's quick pitch.

TPD. This fucking guy.

[Canadouche]

He's a MOTHERFUCKING SORCERER!

[SKO]

So fitting that he had that hit. Eat shit, Hunter

[WTB...A RING FFS!!]

I can't remember if there's an NLDS MVP, but he def earned it. And if he's not the best defender in Cubs history, or at least the last 40 yrs I have no clue who is. That play tonight was one of the most ridiculous I've ever seen.

[ChuckD]

That play tonight was one of the most ridiculous I've ever seen since last night when he made an almost identical play.

[Canadouche]

I truly feel that the Cubs need to do some very creative juggling to ensure that he starts regularly next year. He and Russell could be a gold glove double play combo, and he is undoubtedly the most fun player to watch right now. He's incredible.

Well he managed to get into a 142 games and get 450 PA this year, Zobrist is going to get another year older and probably need more rest. I'm not worried about that. They'll find plenty of opportunities.

Is it sacrilege yet to say he might be better than Ryno?

Might be?  No.

Is?  Definitely.
