Javier Baez 2014 ROY-MVP-World Series MVP Thread

Regardless of how Olt turns out, the important thing is that every major league dong he smacks will be served with a hearty side of FYS.

I hope so. I want to be fucked.

Ventura without the glove, maybe, if everything breaks right?

Jose Guillen without a glove?

Olt's 2013 was terrible.  Before that, though, his OPSes were:

2010 Low A .854 (Age 21)
2011 High A .891 (Age 22)
2012 AA .977 (Age 23)

Bearing in mind that there was a clear explanation for his down year, and that the problem has now been fixed, I'd say he's still got the potential to be an extremely solid major league 3B.  Ventura without the glove, maybe, if everything breaks right?

It just depends if the eye issue is actually cleared up or not, so his past stats may not be relevant. If it's a chronic thing, he'll suck.

Also, I think the reports on his defense have been pretty good in the past. His recent struggles seem to do with the shoulder injury.

Loving the dual Mike Olt threads right now. I say we make every thread about him all season long. I'll keep posting the Boardwalk pics in every one too.

Yesterday, people were discussing Huey's funeral in two different threads, so this seems like an improvement.

That guy has played eight years in the majors and earned getting on for $8MM, despite not being able to bat (career: 107 runs below average), run the bases (career: 3 runs below average), or field (career: 24 runs below average).  In short, since 2005, various teams have collectively paid him a decent seven-figure sum to lose around ten more games for them than (and I think I'm correct in saying this) if they'd just played me at SS.

No offense, but I don't think you're the statistical baseline for replacement level. Do they even have baseball in Austria?
